INSTRUCTION AND LOGIC FOR STORE BROADCAST

摘要

A processor includes a core with locally-gated circuitry, a decode unit, a local power gate (LPG) coupled to the locally-gated circuitry, and an execution unit. The decode unit includes logic to decode a store broadcast instruction of a specified width. The LPG includes logic to selectively provide power to the locally-gated circuitry, activate power to a first portion of the locally-gated circuitry for execution of full cache-line memory operations, and deactivate power to a second portion of the locally-gated circuitry the locally-gated circuitry. The execution unit includes logic to execute, by the first portion of the locally-gated circuitry for execution of full cache-line memory operations, the store broadcast instruction, the store broadcast instruction to store data of the specified width to storage of the processor.
