Abstract: A chaining bit decoder of a computer processor receives an instruction stream. The chaining bit decoder selects a group of instructions from the instruction stream. The chaining bit decoder extracts a designated bit from each instruction of the instruction stream to produce a sequence of chaining bits. The chaining bit decoder decodes the sequence of chaining bits. The chaining bit decoder identifies zero or more instruction stream dependencies among the selected group of instructions in view of the decoded sequence of chaining bits. The chaining bit decoder outputs control signals to cause one or more pipelines stages of the processor to execute the selected group of instructions in view of the identified zero or more instruction stream dependencies among the group sequence of instructions.

Abstract: A computing device determines that a current software thread of a plurality of software threads having an issuing sequence does not have a first instruction waiting to be issued to a hardware thread during a clock cycle. The computing device identifies one or more alternative software threads in the issuing sequence having instructions waiting to be issued. The computing device selects, during the clock cycle by the computing device, a second instruction from a second software thread among the one or more alternative software threads in view of determining that the second instruction has no dependencies with any other instructions among the instructions waiting to be issued. Dependencies are identified by the computing device in view of the values of a chaining bit extracted from each of the instructions waiting to be issued. The computing device issues the second instruction to the hardware thread.

Abstract translation: 计算设备确定具有发布序列的多个软件线程的当前软件线程在时钟周期期间不具有等待发送到硬件线程的第一指令。 计算设备识别发布序列中的一个或多个备选软件线程，其中有等待发出的指令。 考虑到在等待等待的指令中确定第二指令与任何其他指令没有任何依赖关系，计算设备在计算设备的时钟周期期间选择来自一个或多个替代软件线程中的第二软件线程的第二指令 发行。 鉴于从等待发布的每个指令提取的链接位的值，计算设备识别依赖关系。 计算设备向硬件线程发出第二条指令。

Abstract: A processing device identifies a set of software threads having instructions waiting to issue. For each software thread in the set of the software threads, the processing device binds the software thread to an available hardware context in a set of hardware contexts and stores an identifier of the available hardware context bound to the software thread to a next available entry in an ordered list. The processing device reads an identifier stored in an entry of the ordered list. Responsive to an instruction associated with the identifier having no dependencies with any other instructions among the instructions waiting to issue, the processing device issues the instruction waiting to issue to the hardware context associated with the identifier.
