摘要： A microprocessor may include one or more functional units configured to execute operations, a scheduler configured to issue operations to the functional units for execution, and at least one replay detection unit. The scheduler may be configured to maintain state information for each operation. Such state information may, among other things, indicate whether an associated operation has completed execution. The replay detection unit may be configured to detect that one of the operations in the scheduler should be replayed. If an instance of that operation is currently being executed by one of the functional units when operation is detected as needing to be replayed, the replay detection unit is configured to inhibit an update to the state information for that operation in response to execution of the in-flight instance of the operation. Various embodiments of computer systems may include such a microprocessor.

摘要： A functional unit of a processor may be configured to operate on instructions as either a single, wide functional unit or as multiple, independent narrower units. For example, an execution unit may be scheduled to execute an instruction as a single double-wide execution unit or as two independently schedulable single-wide execution units. Functional unit portions may be independently schedulable for execution of instructions operating on a first data type (e.g. SISD instructions). For single-wide instructions, functional unit portions may be scheduled independently. An issue lock mechanism may lock functional unit portions together so that they form a single multi-wide functional unit. For certain multi-wide instructions (e.g. certain SIMD instructions), an instruction operating on a multi-wide or vector data type may be scheduled so that the full multi-wide operation is performed concurrently by functional unit portions locked together as a one wide functional unit.

摘要： An integrated circuit may have separate clock control for a number of different functional units. Ancillary to some of the functional units may be an activity detector and clock control unit which monitors input to its functional unit to determine when the functional unit will be inactive. When an activity detector and clock control unit determines that a particular functional unit is or will be inactive, it may disable clocking to its functional unit while the functional unit is inactive. When activity detector and clock control unit determines that activity will resume for its functional unit, it enables clocking to its functional unit. Thus, the activity detector and clock control unit for each such functional unit functions to control clocking to its respective functional unit so that during periods of inactivity, inactive functional units are not clocked to reduce the overall static and/or dynamic power consumption for the integrated device.
