Handling cache misses by selectively flushing the pipeline

ActiveUS7509484B1Eliminate operationHigh bandwidthDigital computer detailsSpecific program execution arrangementsLoad instructionParallel computing

An apparatus and method for efficiently managing data cache load misses is described in connection with a multithreaded, pipelined multiprocessor chip. A CMT processor keeps track of load misses for each thread by issuing a load miss signal each time a load instruction to the data cache misses. A detection logic functionality in the IFU responds the load miss signal to determine if a valid instruction from the thread is at the one of the pipeline stages. If no instructions from the thread are detected in the pipeline, then no flush is required and the thread is placed in a wait state until the requested data is returned from higher order memory. If any instruction from the thread is detected in the pipeline, the thread is flushed and the instruction is re-fetched.

Methods and apparatus for executing instructions in parallel

ActiveUS7210127B1Eliminate operationLimited abilitySpecific program execution arrangementsMemory systemsParallel computingJava bytecode

A system, method and apparatus for executing instructions in parallel identify a set of traces within a segment of code, such as Java bytecode. Each trace represents a sequence of instructions within the segment of code that are execution structure dependent, such as stack dependent. The system, method and apparatus identify a dependency order between traces in the identified set of traces. The dependency order indicates traces that are dependent upon operation of other traces in the segment of code. The system, method and apparatus can then execute traces within the set of traces in parallel and in an execution order that is based on the identified dependency order, such that at least two traces are executed in parallel and such that if the dependency order indicates that a second trace is dependent upon a first trace, the first trace is executed prior to the second trace. This system provides bytecode level parallelism for Java and other applications that utilize execution structure-based architectures and identifies and efficiently eliminates Java bytecode stack dependency.
