APPARATUSES AND METHODS TO SELECTIVELY EXECUTE A COMMIT INSTRUCTION

摘要

Methods and apparatuses relating to selectively executing a commit instruction. In one embodiment, a data storage device stores code that when executed by a hardware processor causes the hardware processor to perform the following: translating an instruction into a translated instruction to be executed by the hardware processor, marking a commit instruction one of for execution and for optional execution by the hardware processor, and including a hint for a commit instruction marked for optional execution; and a hardware commit unit to determine if the commit instruction marked for optional execution is to be executed based on the hint.
