Publication number: 20160335085Abstract: A data processing system 2 includes multiple out-of-order issue queues 8, 10. A master serialisation instruction MSI received by a first issue queue 8 is detected by slave generation circuitry 24 which generates a slave serialisation instruction SSI added to a second issue queue 10. The master serialisation instruction MSI manages serialisation relative to the instructions within the first issue queue 8. The slave serialisation instruction SSI manages serialisation relative to the instructions within the second issue queue 10. The master serialisation instruction MSI and the slave serialisation instruction SSI are removed when both have met their serialisation conditions and are respectively the oldest instructions within their issue queues.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Luca SCALABRINO, Frederic Jean Denis ARSANTO, Thomas Gilles TARRIDEC, Cedric Denis Robert AIRAUD

Publication number: 20160335088Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises register rename circuitry for mapping architectural register specifiers specified by instructions to physical registers to be accessed in response to the instructions. Available register control circuitry controls which physical registers are available for mapping to an architectural register specifier by the register rename circuitry. For at least one group of two or more physical registers, the available register control circuitry controls availability of the registers based on a group tracking indication indicative of whether there is at least one pending access to any of the physical registers in the group.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Luca SCALABRINO, Frederic Jean Denis ARSANTO, Thomas Gilles TARRIDEC, Cedric Denis Robert AIRAUD

Patent number: 8526225Abstract: A memory device comprises an array of memory cells for storing data and a voltage application unit for applying voltages to the cells for writing data to the cells. Each memory cell has a first layer comprising copper in contact with a second layer comprising a chalcogenide material. The voltage application unit is arranged to write data by switching each cell between a first resistance state and a second, lower, resistance state. The voltage application unit is arranged to switch a cell to the first resistance state by applying a potential difference across the first and second layers such that the potential at the first layer is higher than the potential at the second layer by 0.5 volts or less. The voltage application unit is arranged to switch a cell to the second resistance state by applying a potential difference across the first and second layers such that the potential at the second layer is higher than the potential at the first layer by 0.5 volts or less.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Ludovic Goux, Judit G.

Patent number: 8008644Abstract: A phase-change-memory cell is provided which comprises two insulated regions formed in a first phase-change material connected by a region formed in a second phase-change material. The crystallization temperature of the second phase-change material is below the crystallization temperature of the first phase-change material. By locally changing the material properties using a second PCM material, which switches phase at a lower temperature, a localized “hot spot” is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Ludovic Goux, Dirk Wouters, Judit Lisoni, Thomas Gille

Patent number: 7897952Abstract: A phase-change-material memory cell is provided. The cell comprises at least one patterned layer of a phase-change material, and is characterized in that this patterned layer comprises at least two regions having different resistivities. If the resistivity of the phase-change material is higher in a well-defined area with limited dimensions (“hot spot”) than outside this area, then, for a given current flow between the electrodes, advantageously more Joule heat will be generated within this area compared to the area of the phase-change material where the resistivity is lower.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Dirk Wouters, Ludovic Goux, Judith Lisoni, Thomas Gille
