Abstract: Operand pool instruction reservation clustering in a scheduler circuit in a processor is disclosed. The scheduler circuit includes a plurality of operand pool reservation circuits each having an assigned number of source operands for an instruction stored that must be ready before the instruction is issued.

This can avoid or reduce an increase in scheduling latency for a given number of reservation entries in the clustered scheduler circuit.

Abstract: Obsoleting values stored in registers in a processor based on processing obsolescent register-encoded instructions is disclosed. The processor is configured to support execution of read and/or write instructions that include obsolescence encoding indicating that one or more of its source and/or target register operands are to be obsoleted by the processor. A register encoded as obsolescent means the data value stored in such register will not be used by subsequent instructions in an instruction stream, and thus does not need to be retained. Thus, such register can be set as being in an obsolescent state so that the data value stored in such register can be ignored to improve performance. As one example, data values for registers having an obsolescent state can be ignored and thus not stored in a saved context for a process being switched out, thus conserving memory and improving processing time for a process switch.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing the latency between the completion of a producer task and the launch of a consumer task dependent on the producer task. Such latency exists when the information needed to launch the consumer task is unavailable when the producer task completes. Thus, various techniques are disclosed, where a task management unit initiates the retrieval of the information needed to launch the consumer task from memory in parallel with the producer task being launched. Because the retrieval of such information is initiated in parallel with the launch of the producer task, the information is often available when the producer task completes, thus allowing for the consumer task to be launched without delay. The disclosed techniques, therefore, enable the latency between completing the producer task and launching the consumer task to be reduced.

The computer data processing system further includes a post-completion execution unit that executes the current instruction after the current instruction architecturally completes.

Individual mutation test results produced within each of the parallel threads can be aggregated to generate an aggregated test result report that indicates overall testing metrics associated with the mutation testing across the parallel threads.

Abstract: Systems and methods of performing processor pipeline management include receiving an instruction for processing, determining that data in a first memory sub-group of a memory group needed to process the instruction is not available in a cache that ensures fixed latency access, and determining that the instruction should be put in a sleep state. The sleep state indicates that the instruction will not be reissued until the instruction is moved to a wakeup state. The methods also include associating the instruction with a ticket identifier (ID) that corresponds with a second memory sub-group of the memory group, and moving the instruction to the wakeup state based on the second memory sub-group of the memory group being moved into the cache.

Abstract: An execution unit circuit for use in a processor core provides efficient use of area and energy by reducing the per-entry storage requirement of a load-store unit issue queue. The execution unit circuit includes a recirculation queue that stores the effective address of the load and store operations and the values to be stored by the store operations. A queue control logic controls the recirculation queue and issue queue so that that after the effective address of a load or store operation has been computed, the effective address of the load operation or the store operation is written to the recirculation queue and the operation is removed from the issue queue, so that address operands and other values that were in the issue queue entry no longer require storage. When a load or store operation is rejected by the cache unit, it is subsequently reissued from the recirculation queue.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for marking a store instruction overlap in a processor pipeline is provided. A non-limiting example of the method includes detecting a second store instruction subsequent to a first store instruction in an instruction stream, in which there is a match between the operand address information of the first store instruction and a load instruction. The operand address information of the first store instruction is compared with the operand address information of the second store instruction to determine whether there is match. In the event of a match, the second store instruction is delayed in the processor pipeline in response to determining that there is a memory image overlap between the operand address information of the second store instruction and the first store instruction.

The fast adder uses for a large number of operands is based on multiple levels of fast adders for a small number of operands. The output from the signed fixed-point Carry-Save Adder tree is converted to a selected floating-point format.

A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for instruction next fetch prediction. A scan-on-fill target predictor in a processor generates a predicted next fetch address for the instruction fetch unit. When a group of instructions is used to fill an instruction cache but is not currently being retrieved from the instruction cache for processing by other pipeline stages, the group of instructions are scanned to identify exit points of basic blocks within the group. An entry of a table in the scan-on-fill target predictor is allocated for an instruction in a basic block in the group when the basic block has an exit point with a target address that can be resolved within a single clock cycle. The scan-on-fill target predictor may perform a lookup of the table with the current fetch address. The prediction may be compared to a main branch predictor at a later pipeline stage for training purposes.
