Patent
Superscaler microprocessor including flag operand renaming and forwarding apparatus
TL;DR: In this paper, a superscalar microprocessor is provided with a reorder buffer for storing the speculative state of the microprocessor and a register file for storing real state of a microprocessor.
Patent
Resynchronisation of a superscalar processor
Scott A. White,Michael D Goddard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a pipeline processor (110) is resynchronized under designated conditions by updating a fetch program counter (210) and fetches instructions from a memory (114).
Patent
Microcode patching apparatus and method
TL;DR: In this article, a microcode patching method and apparatus for fetching microcode from an external source which, under appropriate conditions, replaces direct reading of micro code from a micro code ROM is described.
Patent
Pre-decoded instruction cache and method therefor particularly suitable for variable byte-length instructions
David B. Witt,Michael D Goddard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a superscalar processor having a variable byte-length instruction format, such as the X86 format, is organized as a 16K byte 4-way set-associative cache.
Patent
Floating point processing unit with forced arithmetic results
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a logic for selectively forcing arithmetic results, which allows a floating point unit to bypass the normal flow through arithmetic units and pipelines depending on the particular floating point operation and operand conditions.
