摘要： A data processing apparatus, method and computer program that perform an operation on one data element such as a register and conditionally select either that register or a further register on which no operation has been performed. The apparatus includes an instruction decoder configured to decode at least one conditional select instruction specifying a primary source register, a secondary source register, a destination register, a condition, and an operation to be performed on a data element from the secondary source register. Data processing operations are controlled by the instruction decoder and the data processor is responsive to the decoded at least one conditional select instruction where the condition does not have the predetermined outcome to form the resultant data element from the data element from the primary register and to store the resultant data element in the destination register.

摘要： An apparatus for storing data that is being processed is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: a cache associated with a processor and for storing a local copy of data items stored in a memory for use by the processor, monitoring circuitry associated with the cache for monitoring write transaction requests to the memory initiated by a further device, the further device being configured not to store data in the cache. The monitoring circuitry is responsive to detecting a write transaction request to write a data item, a local copy of which is stored in the cache, to block a write acknowledge signal transmitted from the memory to the further device indicating the write has completed and to invalidate the stored local copy in the cache and on completion of the invalidation to send the write acknowledge signal to the further device.

摘要： An instruction decoder (14) is responsive to a conditional compare instruction to generate control signals for controlling processing circuitry (4) to perform a conditional compare operation. The conditional compare operation comprises: (i) if a current condition state of the processing circuitry (4) passes a test condition, then performing a compare operation on a first operand and a second operand and setting the current condition state to a result condition state generated during the compare operation; and (ii) if the current condition state fails the test condition, then setting the current condition state to a fail condition state specified by the conditional compare instruction. The conditional compare instruction can be used to represent chained sequences of comparison operations where each individual comparison operation may test a different kind of relation between a pair of operands.

摘要： A data processing apparatus and method are provided for handling instructions to be executed by processing circuitry. The processing circuitry has a plurality of processor states, each processor state having a different instruction set associated therewith. Pre-decoding circuitry receives the instructions fetched from the memory and performs a pre-decoding operation to generate corresponding pre-decoded instructions, with those pre-decoded instructions then being stored in a cache for access by the processing circuitry. The pre-decoding circuitry performs the pre-decoding operation assuming a speculative processor state, and the cache is arranged to store an indication of the speculative processor state in association with the pre-decoded instructions. The processing circuitry is then arranged only to execute an instruction in the sequence using the corresponding pre-decoded instruction from the cache if a current processor state of the processing circuitry matches the indication of the speculative processor state stored in the cache for that instruction. This provides a simple and effective mechanism for detecting instructions that have been corrupted by the pre-decoding operation due to an incorrect assumption of processor state.

摘要： A register file comprising a plurality of register entries for storing data values for use in the execution of data processing instructions is provided, and comprises at least one write port and at least one read port, and circuitry responsive to a write request received at said at least one write port to update one of said plurality of register entries identified by an address specified by said write request with a data value specified by said write request. The register file also comprises further circuitry responsive to a received control signal to set at least a portion of a predetermined register entry to a predetermined value. In this way, certain register file updating instructions can be executed in parallel with other instructions without the need for additional full write-ports as would be required for typical dual-issue, thereby reducing area and routing complexity and cost compared with the use of an additional write-port due to the lower gate count required by the proposed further circuitry.

摘要： A data processing apparatus comprises a processing unit which is responsive to a plurality of interrupt signals to carry out a corresponding interrupt routine. On receipt of an interrupt signal, the processing unit stores data values from a plurality of registers onto a data stack and carries out the corresponding interrupt routine. Thereafter the processor returns the data values from the data stack to the registers and carries on the processing it was performing when the interrupt was received. If a higher priority interrupt is received whilst the processor is transferring register values to or from the data stack, that transferral is abandoned and the processing unit immediately begins transferring data values from the registers to the data stack in response to the higher priority interrupt.
