摘要： An apparatus and method to support pipelining of variable-latency instructions in a multithreaded processor. In one embodiment, a processor may include instruction fetch logic configured to issue a first and a second instruction from different ones of a plurality of threads during successive cycles. The processor may also include first and second execution units respectively configured to execute shorter-latency and longer-latency instructions and to respectively write shorter-latency or longer-latency instruction results to a result write port during a first or second writeback stage. The first writeback stage may occur a fewer number of cycles after instruction issue than the second writeback stage. The instruction fetch logic may be further configured to guarantee result write port access by the second execution unit during the second writeback stage by preventing the shorter-latency instruction from issuing during a cycle for which the first writeback stage collides with the second writeback stage.

摘要： A method and apparatus for controlling power consumption in a multi-threaded processor. In one embodiment, the processor includes at least one logic unit for processing instructions. The logic unit includes a plurality of positions, wherein each of the plurality of positions corresponds to at least one instruction thread. Clock signals may be provided to the logic unit via a clock gating unit. The clock gating unit is configured to inhibit a clock signal from being provided to a corresponding one of the thread positions when no instruction thread is active for that position. The inhibiting of the clock signal for an inactive thread position may reduce power consumption by the processor.

摘要： Determining an effective address of a memory with a three-operand add operation in single execution cycle of a multithreaded processor that can access both segmented memory and non-segmented memory. During that cycle, the processor determines whether a memory segment base is zero. If the segment base is zero, the processor can access a memory location at the effective address without adding the segment base. If the segment base is not zero, such as when executing legacy code, the processor consumes another cycle to add the segment base to the effective address. Similarly, the processor consumes another cycle if the effective address or the linear address is misaligned. An integer execution unit that performs the three-operand add using a carry-save adder coupled to a carry look-ahead adder. If the segment base is not zero, the effective address is fed back through the integer execution unit to add the segment base.

摘要： In one embodiment, a processor is configured to execute a window swap instruction. The processor comprises a register file (that comprises a plurality of registers) and first and second execution units coupled to the register file. A first pipeline associated with the first execution unit has a first number of pipeline stages, and a second pipeline associated with the second execution unit has a second number of pipeline stages. The first execution unit is configured to change the current register window from the first register window to the second register window in the register file in response to the instruction. The second execution unit is configured to perform an operation defined by the instruction and write the result to the register file. The second number of pipeline stages exceeds the first number, whereby the second register window is established in the register file prior to writing the result.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing single cycle movement of data between a floating-point register file (FRF) and a general purpose or integer register file (RF) of a microprocessor system are provided. The system may include an integer execution unit operative to execute instructions with single cycle latency, a floating-point execution unit, a working register file (WRF), an FRF, and an IRF. To achieve the single cycle movement functionality, the integer execution unit may physically own the WRF, IRF, and FRF, and may monitor and control any dependencies between them. Thus, since the integer execution unit has direct read access to both the IRF and the FRF, data may be moved between the two register files using the single cycle operation of the integer execution unit, without the need to store and load the data from memory.
