Patent number: 8832702Abstract: A technique for scheduling execution of threads at a processor is disclosed. The technique includes executing a thread de-emphasis instruction of a thread that de-emphasizes the thread until the number of pending memory transactions, such as cache misses, associated with the thread are at or below a threshold. While the thread is de-emphasized, other threads at the processor that have a higher priority can be executed or assigned system resources. Accordingly, the likelihood of a stall in the processor is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2007Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Klas M.

Patent number: 7805581Abstract: A data processing device and methods thereof are disclosed. The data processing device can operate in three different modes. In a first, N-bit mode, the data processing device performs memory accesses based on N-bit values and performs arithmetic operations using N-bit values. In a second, hybrid N-bit/M-bit mode, the data processing device performs memory accesses based on M-bit values, where M is less than N, and performs arithmetic operations using N-bit values. In a third, M-bit mode, the data processing device performs memory accesses based on M-bit values and performs arithmetic operations using M-bit values. The three modes provide for compatibility with a wide range of applications. Further operation in the M-bit mode can provide a power savings when implementing applications compatible with that mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Michael D.

Patent number: 7681021Abstract: A processor has a fetch unit and a branch execution unit. The fetch unit has a branch predictor. The branch predictor has a branch target buffer and a branch direction predictor. A wake value is a number of instruction fetches that is predicted to be performed after a fetch of a branch. Thus, for a first branch, for example, a first wake number is predicted. A low power mode of the branch predictor is enabled for a duration of the first wake value in response to hit in the branch target buffer in which the hit is in response to the first branch.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Sergio Schuler, Michael D. Snyder, Leick D. Robinson, David M. Thompson
