摘要： A programmable cache and cache access protocol that can be dynamically optimized with respect to either power consumption or performance based on a monitored performance of the cache. A monitoring unit monitors cache misses, load use penalty, and/or other performance parameter, and compares the monitored values against a set of one or more predetermined thresholds. Based on the comparison results, a cache controller configures the programmable cache to operate in a parallel mode, to increase cache performance at the cost of greater power consumption, or in a serial mode, to conserve power at the cost of unnecessary performance. A banked cache memory that supports aligned and unaligned instruction fetches using a banked access strategy, and a cache access controller that includes a prefetch capability are also described.

摘要： A processor for processing loop instructions can include an instruction reorder structure and a loop processing controller. The instruction reorder structure is configured to store decoded instructions according to program order and issue the decoded instructions for execution out of program order. The loop processing controller is configured to detect a loop in the decoded instructions stored in the instruction reorder structure and cause the instruction reorder structure to reissue the decoded instructions that form the loop for re-execution.

摘要： Aspects of the disclosure provide methods for cache efficiency. A method for cache efficiency can include storing data in a buffer entry in association with a cache array in response to a first store instruction that hits the cache array before the first store instruction is committed. Further, when a dependent load instruction is subsequent to the first store instruction, the method can include providing the data from the buffer entry in response to the first dependent load instruction. When a second store instruction overlaps an address of the first store instruction, the method can include coalescing data of the second store instruction in the buffer entry before the second store instruction is committed. When the second store instruction is followed by a second dependent load instruction, the method can include providing the coalesced data from the buffer entry in response to the second dependent load instruction.

摘要： A processor that executes instructions out of program order is described. In some implementations, a processor detects whether a second memory operation is dependent on a first memory operation prior to memory address calculation. If the processor detects that the second memory operation is not dependent on the first memory operation, the processor is configured to allow the second memory operation to be scheduled. If the processor detects that the second memory operation is dependent on the first memory operation, the processor is configured to prevent the second memory operation from being scheduled until the first memory operation has been scheduled to reduce the likelihood of having to reexecute the second memory operation.
