20130179665 | RESTORING A REGISTER RENAMING MAP - A technique for restoring a register renaming map is described. In one example, a restore table having a number of storage locations saves a copy of the register renaming map whenever a flow-risk instruction is passed to a re-order buffer. When all storage locations are full, further instructions still pass to the re-order buffer, but a copy of the map is not saved. A storage location subsequently becomes available when its associated flow-risk instruction is executed. A register renaming map state for an unrecorded flow-risk instruction passed to the re-order buffer whilst the storage locations were full is generated and stored in the available location. This is generated using the restore table entry for a previous flow-risk instruction and re-order buffer values for intervening instructions between the previous and unrecorded flow-risk instructions. The restore table can be used to restore the map if an unexpected change in instruction flow occurs. | 07-11-2013 |
20140047218 | MULTI-STAGE REGISTER RENAMING USING DEPENDENCY REMOVAL - Multi-stage register renaming using dependency removal is described. In an embodiment, the registers are renamed in two stages.

In various embodiments, the dependencies are removed in the first stage using a fixed mapping to rename destination registers in each instruction and in some embodiments the fixed mapping is based on the position of a destination register within the set of instructions. Dependent registers, which are those registers which are read in an instruction but have been written in a previous instruction in the set, are also renamed in the first stage. In addition to performing the renaming in the final stage, the renaming map is updated. | 02-13-2014 |
20140068232 | GLOBAL REGISTER PROTECTION IN A MULTI-THREADED PROCESSOR - Global register protection in a multi-threaded processor is described. In an embodiment, global resources within a multi-threaded processor are protected by performing checks, before allowing a thread to write to a global resource, to determine whether the thread has write access to the particular global resource. The check involves accessing one or more local control registers or a global control field within the multi-threaded processor and in an example, a local register associated with each other thread in the multi-threaded processor is accessed and checked to see whether it contains an identifier for the particular global resource. Only if none of the accessed local resources contain such an identifier, is the instruction issued and the thread allowed to write to the global resource. Otherwise, the instruction is blocked and an exception may be raised to alert the program that issued the instruction that the write failed. | 03-06-2014 |
20140075144 | DYNAMICALLY RESIZABLE CIRCULAR BUFFERS - Methods and apparatus for dynamically resizing circular buffers are described wherein circular buffers are dynamically allocated arrays from a pool of arrays.

If the request is an addition request and the circular buffer is full, an array from the pool is allocated to the circular buffer. If, however, the request is a removal request and removal of the data creates an empty array, an array is de-allocated from the circular buffer and returned to the pool. Any arrays that are not allocated to a circular buffer may be disabled to conserve power. | 03-13-2014 |

The register files also have a plurality of buffers which are each associated with one of the sub-register files. Each buffer receives and stores write operations destined for the associated sub-register file which can be later issued to the sub-register file. Specifically, each clock cycle it is determined whether there is at least one write operation in the buffer that has not been issued to the associated sub-register file. If there is at least one write operation in the buffer that has not been issued to the associated sub-register file, one of the non-issued write operations is issued to the associated sub-register file. Each sub-register file may also have an arbitration logic unit which resolves conflicts between read and write operations that want to access the associated sub-register file in the same cycle by prioritizing read operations unless a conflicting write instruction has reached commit time. | 08-07-2014 |
20140258623 | MECHANISM FOR COPYING DATA IN MEMORY - An improved mechanism for copying data in memory is described which uses aliasing. In an embodiment, data is accessed from a first location in a memory and stored in a cache line associated with a second, different location in the memory. In response to a subsequent request for data from the second location in the memory, the cache returns the data stored in the cache line associated with the second location in the memory. The method may be implemented using additional hardware logic in the cache which is arranged to receive an aliasing request from a processor which identifies both the first and second locations in memory and triggers the accessing of data from the first location for storing in a cache line associated with the second location. | 09-11-2014 |
20140258627 | MIGRATION OF DATA TO REGISTER FILE CACHE - Methods and migration units for use in out-of-order processors for migrating data to register file caches associated with functional units of the processor to satisfy register read operations. The migration unit receives register read operations to be executed for a particular functional unit. The migration unit reviews entries in a register renaming table to determine if the particular functional unit has recently accessed the source register and thus is likely to comprise an entry for the source register in its register file cache. In particular, the register renaming table comprises entries for physical registers that indicate what functional units have accessed the physical register. If the particular functional unit has not accessed the particular physical register the migration unit migrates data to the register file cache associated with the particular functional unit. | 09-11-2014 |

20160063743 | LINE AND AREA CHART PERFORMANCE BY DATA FILTERING - Systems and methods are disclosed that, in various embodiments, improve chart performance by data filtering. In one aspect, the disclosed techniques allow all visible local maxima and minima to be rendered without having their values altered. In another aspect, the disclosed techniques filter data by skipping points evenly. In some embodiments, every horizontal pixel contains two points, so the line is visually uniform. This can dramatically enhance visualizations where data point intervals are uneven (e.g., having “mixed frequency”). Using a two point per pixel approach, the disclosed techniques ensure that a resulting simplified line looks almost identical to the original line by drawing at the limit of the screen resolution. The disclosed techniques allow for an algorithmic complexity of O(n), which is significantly faster than existing solutions. | 03-03-2016 |
