Abstract: Processor hardware detects when memory aliasing occurs, and assures proper operation of the code even in the presence of memory aliasing. The processor defines a special store instruction that is different from a regular store instruction. The special store instruction is used in regions of the computer program where memory aliasing may occur. Because the hardware can detect and correct for memory aliasing, this allows a compiler to make optimizations such as register promotion even in regions of the code where memory aliasing may occur.

Abstract: A circuit includes a first power transistor including a first control input and first and second current terminals. The circuit includes a second power transistor including a second control input and third and fourth current terminals. Third current terminal couples to the first current terminal, and the fourth current terminal couples to the second current terminal at an output node. An error amplifier generates an error signal based on a difference between a reference voltage and an output voltage on the output node. An adaptive buffer couples to an output of the error amplifier and couples to the first and second control inputs. The adaptive buffer causes the first power transistor to be on through a range of output current and to cause the second power transistor to be on through some, but not all, of the range of output current.
