ten. The apparatus as recited in claim 5 whereby the main instruction is a load instruction, and whereby the load instruction passes the replay phase In the event the load instruction misses in a data cache.
For example, the overlook sign from the data cache thirty could comprise a sign equivalent to Just about every pipeline, which may be asserted if a load during the corresponding pipeline is usually a overlook and deasserted If your load is successful (or there is not any load in the Wr phase that clock cycle). In the current embodiment, the load miss out on is detected from the replay stage. The integer replay scoreboard 44B can be current during the clock cycle after the load pass up is while in the replay phase (Hence indicating that the instruction is beyond the replay phase).
If an integer load pass up is detected (selection block fifty eight), The problem Management circuit forty two sets the bit similar to the desired destination sign-up inside the integer replay scoreboard 44B (block sixty). As pointed out earlier mentioned, the pipe condition might reveal which load/keep pipeline the integer load is in as well as the phase with the pipeline that it is in. When the integer load is inside the stage through which cache hit/miss out on info is obtainable (e.g. the Wr stage from the load/store pipeline in one embodiment) plus the skip sign similar to the load/retailer pipeline the integer load is in suggests a miss, then an integer load overlook could be detected.
The skip indication could indicate cache misses (a person for every load/retailer device 26A-26B). The fill indicator could suggest that fill facts is returning (which can include an indication in the register quantity for which fill info is remaining returned). Alternatively, the fill indication may very well be provided by the bus interface unit 32 or some other circuitry. Each and every of execution units 22A-22B, 24A-24B, and 26A-26B may well show whether or not an instruction encounters an exception using the corresponding exception indication. The replay indication could possibly be supplied by the fetch/decode/challenge unit fourteen if a replay ailment is detected for an instruction.
The little bit similar to the spot register from the floating point instruction could possibly be established from the FP Madd RAW replay scoreboard 46F in response to the instruction passing the replay phase. The bit could possibly be cleared in each scoreboards nine clock cycles prior to the floating level instruction updates its consequence. The volume of clock cycles might change in other embodiments. Usually, the quantity of clock cycles is selected to align the register file browse (RR) phase to the insert operand with the floating stage multiply-include instruction Together with the stage at which end result knowledge is forwarded to the prior floating stage instruction. The quantity may well rely upon the amount of pipeline phases among the issue phase and the sign-up file go through (RR) phase for your incorporate operand from the floating issue multiply-incorporate pipeline (like equally stages) and the number of stages involving The end result forwarding stage plus the compose stage of your floating level pipeline.
Turning now to FIG. 19, a condition device diagram illustrating a point website out device Which may be used by one particular embodiment of The difficulty Manage circuit forty two for controlling the issuing of Directions and for utilizing one embodiment of the ability preserving method is proven.
In reaction to floating position fill knowledge remaining offered (conclusion block one hundred thirty), The problem Management circuit forty two clears the little bit for that destination register from the corresponding floating position load from the FP RAW Load replay and graduation scoreboards 46A-46B (block 132).
The remainder of this description will use somewhat Together with the set and distinct states as established forth higher than. Nevertheless, other embodiments may reverse the meanings on the established and very clear states in the little bit or might use multibit indications.
The latencies of any of the above groups of floating level Guidelines might vary from embodiment to embodiment.
16. The apparatus as recited in claim 12 further comprising a fourth scoreboard, whereby the Management circuit is configured to update the fourth scoreboard to indicate the generate to the main vacation spot sign up is pending responsive to the very first instruction passing the replay stage, and wherein the Management circuit is configured to update the fourth scoreboard to point that the compose to the 1st location sign-up will not be pending at the second predetermined clock cycle, and wherein the control circuit is configured to repeat contents of the fourth scoreboard for the third scoreboard responsive to the replay of the next instruction.
It is pointed out the copying on the contents of 1 scoreboard to another may very well be delayed by a number of clock cycles from your detection from the corresponding celebration (e.g. the detection of replay/redirect or exception).
The integer execution units 22A-22B are commonly able to dealing with integer arithmetic/logic operations, shifts, rotates, and so forth. Not less than the integer execution unit 22A is configured to execute department instructions, and in certain embodiments equally with the integer execution units 22A-22B may well cope with branch instructions. In a single implementation, only the execution device 22B executes integer multiply and divide Guidance although both of those may perhaps manage this sort of Directions in other embodiments. The floating point execution units 24A-24B similarly execute the floating point Guidance.
FIGS. 6-9 are flowcharts illustrating the operation of 1 embodiment of The difficulty control circuit forty two for your integer scoreboards and integer instruction situation. Generally, the circuitry represented by FIGS. six-nine may well select which pipe phase an instruction is in by analyzing the pipe state while in the corresponding entry of The difficulty queue 40. Viewed in yet another way, the circuitry represented by a supplied choice block might decode the type industry in Each individual entry and also the corresponding pipe state to detect if an instruction in almost any challenge queue entry can be an instruction in the pipe phase searched for by That call block.
