Abstract:
Processor, method, and system for reducing latency in accessing remote registers is described herein. One embodiment of a processor includes one or more remote registers and remote register access circuitry. The remote register access circuitry is to detect a request from the requestor to access a first register of the one or more remote registers, access to the first register in accordance to the request without the requestor having to wait for completion of the access, and provide a notification accessible to the requestor upon completion of the access to the first register of the one or more remote registers.
Abstract:
An apparatus including an execution logic that includes circuitry to execute instructions, and an instruction execution scheduler logic coupled with the execution logic. The instruction execution scheduler logic is to receive an execute at commit state update instruction. The instruction execution scheduler logic includes at commit state update logic that is to wait to schedule the execute at commit state update instruction for execution until the execute at commit state update instruction is a next instruction to commit. Other apparatus, methods, and systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of cores to execute instructions, a first identification register having a first field to store a feedback indicator to indicate to an operating system (OS) that the processor is to provide hardware feedback information to the OS dynamically and a power controller coupled to the plurality of cores. The power controller may include a feedback control circuit to dynamically determine the hardware feedback information for at least one of the plurality of cores and inform the OS of an update to the hardware feedback information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to issue, execution, and backend driven frontend translation control for performant and secure data-space guided micro-sequencing are described. In an embodiment, Data-space Translation Logic (DTL) circuitry receives a static input and a dynamic input, and generates one or more outputs based at least in part on the static input and the dynamic input. The DTL circuitry generates the one or more outputs prior to commencement of speculation operations in a processor. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
An apparatus of an aspect includes a plurality of microcode alias locations and a microcode storage. A microinstruction of a microcode subroutine is stored in the microcode storage. The microinstruction has an indication of a microcode alias location. A microcode caller of the microcode subroutine is also stored in the microcode storage. The microcode caller is operable to specify a location of a parameter in the microcode alias location that is indicated by the microinstruction of the microcode subroutine. The apparatus also includes parameter location determination logic that is coupled with the microcode alias locations. The parameter location determination logic is operable, responsive to the microinstruction of the microcode subroutine, to receive the indication of the microcode alias location from the microinstruction and determine the location of the parameter specified in the microcode alias location indicated by the microinstruction.
