发明名称 Back-end renaming in a continual flow processor pipeline
摘要 Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for comparatively increasing processor throughput and relieving pressure on the processor's scheduler and register file by diverting instructions dependent on long-latency operations from a flow of the processor pipeline and re-introducing the instructions into the flow when the long-latency operations are completed. In this way, the instructions do not tie up resources and overall instruction throughput in the pipeline is comparatively increased. Before the instructions are diverted from the pipeline, they may undergo a conventional process to map logical registers of the instructions to physical registers. Before the instructions are re-introduced into the pipeline, the physical registers mapped according to the conventional process may be re-mapped to other physical registers, thereby efficiently preserving correct program sequence information.
