  • Centralized resolution of conditional instructions
    Publication number: 20070050610
    Abstract: A processor that includes a memory comprising a condition code register (CCR) and a plurality of execution units coupled to the memory. Each execution unit comprises multiple stages and is provided with a different instruction predicated on a conditional statement. The conditional statement of each different instruction also is provided to a single execution unit. The single execution unit compares the conditional statement of each different instruction to the CCR in a single stage of the single execution unit.

  • Method and apparatus for adaptive buffer sizing
    Publication number: 20060179186
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptive buffer sizing adjusts the size of the buffer at different levels using a “high water mark” to different levels for different system conditions. The high water mark is used by the buffer logic as an indication of when to assert the buffer “Full” flag. In turn, the full flag is used by the instruction fetch logic as an indication of when to stop fetching further instructions.
