Patent number: 12131155Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for speculatively vectorising program code. The apparatus includes processing circuitry for executing program code, the program code including an identified code region comprising at least a plurality of speculative vector memory access instructions. Execution of each speculative vector memory access instruction is employed to perform speculative vectorisation of a series of scalar memory access operations using a plurality of lanes of processing. Tracking storage is used to maintain, for each speculative vector memory access instruction, tracking information providing an indication of a memory address being accessed within each lane. Checking circuitry then references the tracking information during execution of the identified code region by the processing circuitry, in order to detect any inter lane memory hazard resulting from the execution of the plurality of speculative vector memory access instructions.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignees: Arm Limited, The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of CambridgeInventors: Peng Sun, Timothy Martin Jones, Giacomo Gabrielli

Patent number: 10909006Abstract: An apparatus comprises a main processor to execute a main stream of program instructions, two or more checker processors to execute respective checker streams of program instructions in parallel with each other, the checker streams corresponding to different portions of the main stream executed by the main processor, and error detection circuitry to detect an error when a mismatch is detected between an outcome of a given portion of the main stream executed on the main processor and an outcome of the corresponding checker stream executed on one of the plurality of checker processors. This approach enables high performance main processors 4 to be checked for errors with lower circuit area and power consumption overhead than a dual-core lockstep technique.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignees: Arm Limited, The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of CambridgeInventors: Sam Ainsworth, Thomas Christopher Grocutt, Timothy Martin Jones
