  • Decoupling of conditional branches
    Patent number: 11106466
    Abstract: A computer processor includes an issue queue to receive an instruction, and one or more execution units to generate a condition code bit corresponding to the instruction. A branch condition queue is in signal communication with the issue queue, and receives the instruction from the issue queue before the at least one execution unit generates the condition code bit.
    Type: Grant

  • Direct register restore mechanism for distributed history buffers
    Patent number: 10248426
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for restoring register data in a processor. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an instruction to flush one or more general purpose registers (GPRs) in a processor. The method also includes determining history buffer entries of a history buffer to be restored to the one or more GPRs. The method includes creating a mask vector that indicates which history buffer entries will be restored to the one or more GPRs. The method further includes restoring the indicated history buffer entries to the one or more GPRs. As each indicated history buffer entry is restored, the method includes updating the mask vector to indicate which history buffer entries have been restored.
