摘要： In one embodiment, a processor includes a frontend unit having an instruction decoder to receive and to decode instructions of a plurality of threads, an execution unit coupled to the instruction decoder to receive and execute the decoded instructions, and an instruction retirement unit having a retirement logic to receive the instructions from the execution unit and to retire the instructions associated with one or more of the threads that have an instruction or an event pending to be retired. The instruction retirement unit includes a thread arbitration logic to select one of the threads at a time and to dispatch the selected thread to the retirement logic for retirement processing.

摘要： A processor includes a logic for stateless capture of data linear addresses (DLA) during precise event based sampling (PEBS) for an out-of-order execution engine. The engine may include a PEBS unit with logic to increment a counter each time an instance of a designated micro-op is retired a reorder buffer, capture output DLA referenced by an instance of the micro-op that executes after the counter overflows, set a captured bit associated with a reorder buffer identifier for the instance of the micro-op, and store a PEBS record in a debug storage when the instance of the micro-op is retired from the reorder buffer. The designated micro-op references a DLA of a memory accessible to the processor.

摘要： An apparatus and method for performing an efficient scatter operation. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: an allocator unit to receive a scatter operation comprising a number of data elements and responsively allocate resources to execute the scatter operation; a memory execution cluster comprising at least a portion of the resources to execute the scatter operation, the resources including one or more store data buffers and one or more store address buffers; and a senior store pipeline to transfer store data elements from the store data buffers to system memory using addresses from the store address buffers prior to retirement of the scatter operation.
