ROTATING REGISTER FILE WITH BIT EXPANSION SUPPORT

摘要

A method and system for implementing rotating register files with bit expansion support may enable a plurality of register pointers, each with a respective increment value, to be implemented in a register file of a processor. The register pointers may correspond to different regions of the register file. Each region of the register file may have a different size.

1. A method for accessing a rotating register file with bit expansion support in a processor, comprising:
dividing a register file into a plurality of regions; assigning a plurality of register pointers respectively to each of the regions; assigning a plurality of increment values respectively to each of the register pointers; and during execution of processor instructions, incrementing the register pointers respectively according to the increment values.
