    Abstract: A register file, in a processor, includes a first plurality of registers of a first size, n-bits. A decoder uses a mapping that divides the register file into a second plurality M of registers having a second size. Each of the registers having the second size is assigned a different name in a continuous name space. Each register of the second size includes a plurality N of registers of the first size, n-bits. Each register in the plurality N of registers is assigned the same name as the register of the second size that includes that plurality. State information is maintained in the register file for each n-bit register. The dependence of an instruction on other instructions is detected through the continuous name space. The state information allows the processor to determine when the information in any portion, or all, of a register is valid.

    Abstract translation: 处理器中的寄存器文件包括第一大小的第一多个寄存器,n位。 解码器使用将寄存器文件划分成具有第二大小的第二M个寄存器的映射。 每个具有第二大小的寄存器在连续名称空间中被分配不同的名称。 第二大小的每个寄存器包括具有第一大小的多个N个寄存器,n位。 多个N个寄存器中的每个寄存器被分配与包括该多个的第二大小的寄存器相同的名称。 状态信息保存在每个n位寄存器的寄存器文件中。 通过连续名称空间检测指令对其他指令的依赖性。 状态信息允许处理器确定寄存器的任何部分或全部中的信息何时有效。
