Abstract:
A method for generating a hazard list, comprising:compiling a list of resource parameters, including a first resource utilization parameter and a second resource utilization parameter, wherein each resource parameter has a corresponding resource and instruction identity; for at least one resource in the list, comparing the first resource utilization parameter to the second resource utilization parameter to obtain a first comparison result, wherein the first and second utilization parameters correspond to the at least one resource; and selectively determining a hazard based on the first comparison result, wherein if the first comparison result is greater than a predetermined threshold, the hazard is determined, and wherein the predetermined threshold has a first value if a first instruction identified by the instruction identity corresponding to the first resource utilization parameter is different from a second instruction identified by the instruction identity corresponding to the second resource utilization parameter, and the predetermined threshold has a second value if the first instruction and the second instruction is a same instruction.
