    摘要: A method of performing a fast information compare within a processor which includes performing a more significant bit compare when information is loaded into a translation lookaside buffer, storing a result of the more significant bit compare within the translation lookaside buffer as part of an entry containing the information, and using the result of the more significant bit compare in conjunction with results from a compare of less significant bits of the information and less significant bits of compare information to determine whether a match is present. The more significant bit compare compares more significant bits of the information being loaded into the translation lookaside buffer with more significant bits of compare information.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses are provided for increased efficiency in a processor via control word prediction. The apparatus comprises an operational unit capable of determining whether an instruction will change a first control word to a second control word for processing dependent instructions. Execution units process the dependent instructions using a predicted control word and compare the second control word to the predicted control word. A scheduling unit causes the execution units to reprocess the dependent instructions when the predicted control word does not match the second control word. The method comprises determining that an instruction will change a first control word to a second control word and processing the dependent instructions using a predicted control word. The second control word is compared to the predicted control word and the dependent instructions are reprocessed using the second control word when the predicted control word does not match the second control word.
