    摘要: Various embodiments of the invention concern methods and apparatuses for power and time efficient load handling. A compiler may identify producer loads, consumer reuse loads, consumer forwarded loads, and producer/consumer hybrid loads. Based on this identification, performance of the load may be efficiently directed to a load value buffer, store buffer, data cache, or elsewhere. Consequently, accesses to cache are reduced, through direct loading from load value buffers and store buffers, thereby efficiently processing the loads.

    摘要: A processor includes a decoder to decode an instruction, a scheduler to schedule the instruction, and an execution unit to execute the instruction. The instruction is to load a memory operation applicable to a quantity of addresses into an execution vector. The execution vector includes a plurality of vector positions for respective addressees. The instruction is further to evaluate, for a given address in the execution vector at a vector position, whether a cache indicates that a previous memory operation was performed at a higher vector position than the vector position of the given address. The instruction is also to determine, based on the evaluation whether the cache indicates that the previous memory operation was performed at a higher vector position than the vector position of the given address, whether the memory operation will cause a memory error.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for speculative vectorization. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a queue comprising a set of locations for storing addresses associated with vectorized memory access instructions; and execution logic to execute a first vectorized memory access instruction to access the queue and to compare a new address associated with the first vectorized memory access instruction with existing addresses stored within a specified range of locations within the queue to detect whether a conflict exists, the existing addresses having been previously stored responsive to one or more prior vectorized memory access instructions.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to fast approximate conflict detection. A device may comprise, for example, a memory, a processor and a fast conflict detection module (FCDM) to cause the processor to perform fast conflict detection. The FCDM may cause the processor to read a first and second vector from memory, and to then generate summaries based on the first and second vectors. The summaries may be, for example, shortened versions of write and read addresses in the first and second vectors. The FCDM may then cause the processor to distribute the summaries into first and second summary vectors, and may then determine potential conflicts between the first and second vectors by comparing the first and second summary vectors. The summaries may be distributed into the first and second summary vectors in a manner allowing all of the summaries to be compared to each other in one vector comparison transaction.
