Abstract: A parallelized multiple dispatch ordered queue including an ordered queue, qualify logic, ordered select logic, and dispatch logic. The ordered queue stores candidates in order from oldest to youngest into multiple entries. The ordered queue is divided into N groups in which an i'th group includes every i'th entry of every N entries of the ordered queue, wherein i is an integer less than or equal to N. The qualify logic determines whether any candidate is ready to be dispatched. The ordered select logic respectively determines the oldest candidate in each group that is ready to be dispatched. The dispatch logic dispatches the oldest ready candidates in parallel. The shift logic shifts the stored candidates in the ordered queue to fill any vacant entries between remaining ones of the stored candidates without changing an order of the remaining ones of the stored candidates in the ordered queue. The ordered queue may have any size or depth and N is any suitable integer determining the number of candidates (e.g.

Abstract: A loop predictor trains a branch instruction to determine a trained loop count of a loop. When the loop fits in an instruction buffer, the processor stops fetching from an instruction cache, sends the loop instructions to an execution engine from the buffer without fetching from the cache, maintains a loop pop count of times the branch is sent to the execution engine from the buffer, and predicts the branch instruction is taken when the loop pop count is less than the trained loop count and otherwise predicts not taken.

Abstract: A reissue instruction parking system for a microprocessor including a reservation stations module that dispatches instructions for execution and a reorder buffer that reissues instructions to the reservation stations module during a reissue state, in which the reissue instruction parking system includes at least one first pipeline stage and at least one second pipeline stage, in which the first pipeline stages provide a first reissue instruction from a reissue data path to the reservation stations module during the reissue state and that parks the first reissue instruction once the reservation stations module is determined to be full, and in which the second pipeline stages select a pointer to the reorder buffer which provides a corresponding first reissue instruction onto the reissue data path, in which the second pipeline stages are placed into a hold state when a second full signal is asserted.

Abstract: A load-store collision detection system for a speculative out of order processing engine which includes a scheduler that dispatches instructions to multiple instruction pipelines. The instruction pipelines include a load pipeline that provides a load valid signal when a speculatively dispatched load instruction is executing. The load-store collision detection system includes comparator logic, broadcast logic, and kill logic. The comparator logic asserts a clear signal when a virtual address of the speculatively dispatched load instruction matches at least one store instruction virtual address of a previously dispatched store instruction whose corresponding store data is not ready yet. The broadcast logic broadcasts the load valid signal to the scheduler to enable dispatch of any instructions dependent upon the speculatively dispatched load instruction. The kill logic invalidates the load valid signal when the clear signal is asserted to avoid a load-store collision that reduces processing performance.
