  • Shared resource allocation in a multi-threaded microprocessor
    Patent number: 11294724
    Abstract: An approach is provided for allocating a shared resource to threads in a multi-threaded microprocessor based upon the usefulness of the shared resource to each of the threads. The usefulness of a shared resource to a thread is determined based upon the number of entries in the shared resource that are allocated to the thread and the number of active entries that the thread has in the shared resource. Threads that are allocated a large number of entries in the shared resource and have a small number of active entries in the shared resource, indicative of a low level of parallelism, can operate efficiently with fewer entries in the shared resource, and have their allocation limit in the shared resource reduced.
