20100274994 | PROCESSOR OPERATING MODE FOR MITIGATING DEPENDENCY CONDITIONS - Various techniques for mitigating dependencies between groups of instructions are disclosed. In one embodiment, such dependencies include “evil twin” conditions, in which a first floating-point instruction has as a destination a first portion of a logical floating-point register (e.g., a single-precision write), and in which a second, subsequent floating-point instruction has as a source the first portion and a second portion of the same logical floating-point register (e.g., a double-precision read). The disclosed techniques may be applicable in a multithreaded processor implementing register renaming. In one embodiment, a processor may enter an operating mode in which detection of evil twin “producers” (e.g., single-precision writes) causes the instruction sequence to be modified to break potential dependencies. Modification of the instruction sequence may continue until one or more exit criteria are reached (e.g., committing a predetermined number of single-precision writes). This operating mode may be employed on a per-thread basis. | 10-28-2010 |

20100332804 | UNIFIED HIGH-FREQUENCY OUT-OF-ORDER PICK QUEUE WITH SUPPORT FOR SPECULATIVE INSTRUCTIONS - Systems and methods for efficient picking of instructions for out-of-order issue and execution in a processor. In one embodiment, a processor comprises a unified pick queue that is dynamically allocated. Each entry is configured to store age and dependency information relative to other decoded instructions. Also, each entry stores a picked field, which when asserted indicates the decoded instruction has already been picked for out-of-order issue and execution. When asserted, a trigger field indicates a result of a corresponding decoded instruction will be available a predetermined number of clock cycles afterward. A younger instruction dependent on a result of an older instruction is ready to be picked before the result of the older instruction is available. In this case, the older instruction has asserted picked and trigger fields. | 12-30-2010 |
20100332806 | DEPENDENCY MATRIX FOR THE DETERMINATION OF LOAD DEPENDENCIES - Systems and methods for identification of dependent instructions on speculative load operations in a processor. A processor allocates entries of a unified pick queue for decoded and renamed instructions. Each entry of a corresponding dependency matrix is configured to store a dependency bit for each other instruction in the pick queue. The processor speculates that loads will hit in the data cache, hit in the TLB and not have a read after write (RAW) hazard. For each unresolved load, the pick queue tracks dependent instructions via dependency vectors based upon the dependency matrix. If a load speculation is found to be incorrect, dependent instructions in the pick queue are reset to allow for subsequent picking, and dependent instructions in flight are canceled. On completion of a load miss, dependent operations are re-issued. On resolution of a TLB miss or RAW hazard, the original load is replayed and dependent operations are issued again from the pick queue. | 12-30-2010 |
20110029978 | DYNAMIC MITIGATION OF THREAD HOGS ON A THREADED PROCESSOR - Systems and methods for efficient thread arbitration in a processor. A processor comprises a multi-threaded resource. The resource may include an array 8of entries which may be allocated by threads. A thread arbitration table corresponding to a given thread stores a high and a low threshold value in each table entry. A thread history shift register (HSR) indexes the table, wherein each bit of the HSR indicates whether the given thread is a thread hog. When the given thread has more allocated entries in the array than the high threshold of the table entry, the given thread is stalled from further allocating array entries. Similarly, when the given thread has fewer allocated entries in the array than the low threshold of the selected table entry, the given thread is permitted to allocate entries. In this manner, threads that hog dynamic resources can be mitigated such that more resources are available to other threads that are not thread hogs. This can result in a significant increase in overall processor performance. | 02-03-2011 |
20110078697 | OPTIMAL DEALLOCATION OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM A UNIFIED PICK QUEUE - Systems and methods for efficient out-of-order dynamic deallocation of entries within a shared storage resource in a processor.

This instruction may correspond to any available active threads supported by the processor. The processor includes circuitry configured to determine whether an instruction corresponding to an allocated entry of the plurality of entries is dependent on a speculative instruction and whether the instruction has a fixed instruction execution latency. In response to determining the instruction is not dependent on a speculative instruction, the instruction has a fixed instruction execution latency, and said latency has transpired, the circuitry may deallocate the instruction from the allocated entry. | 03-31-2011 |

In one embodiment, an integrated circuit is disclosed that includes a division unit that, in turn, includes a normalization circuit and a plurality of divide engines. The normalization circuit is configured to normalize a set of operands. Each divide engine is configured to operate on a respective normalized set of operands received from the normalization circuit. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit includes a scheduler unit configured to select instructions for issuance to a plurality of execution units including the division unit. The scheduler unit is further configured to maintain a counter indicative of a number of instructions currently being operated on by the division unit, and to determine, based on the counter whether to schedule subsequent instructions for issuance to the division unit. | 07-11-2013 |

20130159270 | ACTION ALIGNMENT FOR EVENT PLANNING, PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND PROCESS STRUCTURING - An action alignment system for event planning and execution searches out web sites relating to event planning and, based on web site content, constructs a database of various tasks that might be desired for different events (tasks can also be manually added to the database). The tasks have associated tags which allow a task search engine to match a user query representing a proposed event to potential tasks. This list of potential tasks is presented to the user who may then select the tasks as desired to customize the event plan. Vendors can provide pre-packaged deals for the tasks, and this information can be included with the task database, selected by the user, and added to the event plan. A scheduler and alert engine then inserts appropriate entries into the user's calendar, and sends timely alerts to the user which include links that simplify event management. | 06-20-2013 |
