    摘要: Techniques related to executing instructions by a processor comprising receiving a first instruction for execution, determining a first latency value based on an expected amount of time needed for the first instruction to be executed, storing the first latency value in a writeback queue, beginning execution of the first instruction on the instruction execution pipeline, adjusting the latency value based on an amount of time passed since beginning execution of the first instruction, outputting a first result of the first instruction based on the latency value, receiving a second instruction, determining that the second instruction is a variable latency instruction, storing a ready value indicating that a second result of the second instruction is not ready in the writeback queue, beginning execution of the second instruction on the instruction execution pipeline, updating the ready value to indicate that the second result is ready, and outputting the second result.

    摘要: Techniques related to executing a plurality of instructions by a processor comprising receiving a first instruction for execution on an instruction execution pipeline, wherein the instruction execution pipeline is in a first execution mode, and wherein the first instruction is configured to utilize a first memory location, begin execution of the first instruction on the instruction execution pipeline, receiving an execution mode instruction to switch the instruction execution pipeline to a second execution mode, switching the instruction execution pipeline to the second execution mode based on the received execution mode instruction, receiving a second instruction for execution on the instruction execution pipeline, the second instruction configured to utilize the first memory location, determining that the first instruction and the second instruction utilize the first memory location, and stalling execution of the second instruction based on the determining.

    摘要: A method includes receiving an execute packet that includes a first instruction and a second instruction and executing the first instruction and the second instruction using a pipeline. Executing the first and second instructions includes storing a result of the first instruction in a holding register; determining whether an event that interrupts execution of the execute packet occurs prior to completion of the executing of the second instruction; and based on the event not occurring, committing the result of the first instruction after completion of the executing of the second instruction.

    摘要: Techniques related to executing a plurality of instructions by a processor comprising receiving a first instruction for execution on an instruction execution pipeline, beginning execution of the first instruction, receiving one or more second instructions for execution on the instruction execution pipeline, the one or more second instructions associated with a higher priority task than the first instruction, storing a register state associated with the execution of the first instruction in one or more registers of a capture queue associated with the instruction execution pipeline, copying the register state from the capture queue to a memory, determining that the one or more second instructions have been executed, copying the register state from the memory to the one or more registers of the capture queue, and restoring the register state to the instruction execution pipeline from the capture queue.

    摘要: A method includes executing software code comprising a plurality of execute packets; responsive to an execute packet of the software code being executed by a data processor core, advancing a value of a test counter register; and responsive to the value of the test counter register being equal to a terminal value, triggering an event to be handled by the software code.

    摘要: A method to reverse source data in a processor in response to a vector reverse instruction includes specifying, in respective fields of the vector reverse instruction, a source register containing the source data and a destination register. The source register includes a plurality of lanes and each lane contains a data element, and the destination register includes a plurality of lanes corresponding to the lanes of the source register. The method further includes executing the vector reverse instruction by creating reversed source data by reversing the order of the data elements, and storing the reversed source data in the destination register.
