  • Tracking multiple dependent instructions with instruction queue pointer mapping table linked to a multiple wakeup table by a pointer
    Patent number: 7464253
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the operation of an out-of order computer processor by utilizing and managing instruction wakeup using pointers with an instruction queue payload random-access memory, a mapping table, and a multiple wake-up table. Instructions allocated to the instruction queue are identified by association with a physical destination register used to index in the mapping table to provide dependent instruction information for instruction wakeup for scalable instruction queue design, reduced power consumption, and fast branch mis-prediction recovery, without the use of content-addressable memory cells.
    Type: Grant
