发明名称 Superforwarding Processor
摘要 Methods and systems that allow the processor to effectively and efficiently reduce or eliminate the latency associated with instructions that copy the value of one register to another register. A processor includes a superforwarding table, a superforwarding logic block, and a computation engine. The superforwarding table stores an entry, wherein the entry has a valid bit, a key field, and a forward field. The superforwarding logic block determines which register contains the information needed for an instruction. The computation engine executes instructions.

主权项 1. A method comprising: comparing a value of a source register for an instruction against a key for each valid entry in a superforwarding table; and modifying the instruction by replacing the value of the source register with a value in a forward field if the source register matches the key for a valid entry in the superforwarding table.
