MICROPROCESSOR ACCELERATED CODE OPTIMIZER

摘要

A method for accelerating code optimization a microprocessor. The method includes fetching an incoming microinstruction sequence using an instruction fetch component and transferring the fetched macroinstructions to a decoding component for decoding into microinstructions. Optimization processing is performed by reordering the microinstruction sequence into an optimized microinstruction sequence comprising a plurality of dependent code groups. The optimized microinstruction sequence is output to a microprocessor pipeline for execution. A copy of the optimized microinstruction sequence is stored into a sequence cache for subsequent use upon a subsequent hit optimized microinstruction sequence.
