Abstract: Issuing instructions to execution pipelines based on register-associated preferences and related instruction processing circuits, systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, an instruction is detected in an instruction stream. Upon determining that the instruction specifies at least one source register, an execution pipeline preference(s) is determined based on at least one pipeline indicator associated with the at least one source register in a pipeline issuance table, and the instruction is issued to an execution pipeline based on the execution pipeline preference(s). Upon a determination that the instruction specifies at least one target register, at least one pipeline indicator associated with the at least one target register in the pipeline issuance table is updated based on the execution pipeline to which the instruction is issued. In this manner, optimal forwarding of instructions may be facilitated, thus improving processor performance.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for transmitting a measurement report during wireless communications. When, for example, a low-power period (e.g., CDRX OFF period) is scheduled to begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer (TTT timer), a UE may modify the low-power period. The low-power period may be modified based, at least in part on determining the low-power period of the UE will begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer, a duration of the measurement event timer, and a duration of the low-power period. Modifying the low-power period may include delaying the start of the low-power state until after transmission of the MR associated with the measurement event timer or skipping the low-power period altogether. The UE may transmit the MR based, at least in part, on the modification.
