  • Patent number: 10153012
    Abstract: A processor includes N-bit registers and a decode unit to receive a multiple register memory access instruction. The multiple register memory access instruction is to indicate a memory location and a register. The processor includes a memory access unit coupled with the decode unit and with the N-bit registers. The memory access unit is to perform a multiple register memory access operation in response to the multiple register memory access instruction. The operation is to involve N-bit data, in each of the N-bit registers comprising the indicated register. The operation is also to involve different corresponding N-bit portions of an M×N-bit line of memory corresponding to the indicated memory location. A total number of bits of the N-bit data in the N-bit registers to be involved in the multiple register memory access operation is to amount to at least half of the M×N-bits of the line of memory.

  • Patent number: 9367325
    Abstract: A method is described that includes deciding to migrate a thread from a first processing core to a second processing core. The method also includes automatically in hardware migrating first context of the thread of the first processing core whose register definition is also found on the second processing core to the second processing core. The method also includes automatically in hardware migrating second context of the thread of the first processing core whose register definition is not found on the second processing core to a first storage location external to the second processing core. The message also includes automatically in hardware migrating third context of the thread from a second storage location external to the second processing core to register definition found on the second processing core but not found on the first processing core.
