    摘要: A method of restoring register mapper states for an out-of-order microprocessor. A processor maps a logical register to a physical register in a map table in response to a first instruction. Instruction sequencing logic records a second speculatively executed instruction as a most recently dispatched instruction in the map table when the second instruction maps the same logical register of the first instruction. The instruction sequencing logic sets an evictor instruction tag (ITAG) of the first instruction in the map table when the second instruction maps a same logical register of the first instruction. The instruction sequencing logic detects mispredicted speculative instructions, determines which instructions in the map table were dispatched prior to the mispredicted speculative instructions, and restores the map table to a state prior to the mispredicted speculative instructions by utilizing the evictor ITAG to restore one or more A bits in the map table data structure.

    摘要: There is provided a synchronization circuit for a 3D chip stack having multiple circuits and multiple strata interconnected using a first and a second stack-wide broadcast connection chain. The synchronization circuit includes the following, on each stratum. A synchronizer connected to the first connection chain receives an asynchronous signal therefrom and performs a synchronization to provide a synchronous signal. A driver is connected to the second chain for driving the synchronous signal. A latch connected to the second chain receives the synchronous signal driven by the driver on a same or different stratum within a next clock cycle from the synchronization to provide the stack-wide synchronous signal to a circuit on a same stratum. An output of a single driver on one stratum is selected at any given time for use by the latch on all strata.
