Title: Stack pointer value prediction
Inventor: JACKSON HUGH
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2014-01-17
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for predicting the value of a stack pointer for a stack in a processor are described. In an embodiment, data is stored (in a data structure in memory) when an instruction is seen which grows the stack. The information which is stored includes a size parameter which indicates by how much the stack is grown and one or both of: the register ID currently holding the stack pointer value or the current stack pointer value. When a subsequent instruction shrinking the stack is seen, the stored data is searched for one or more entries which has a corresponding size parameter. If such an entry is identified, the other information stored in that entry is used to predict the value of the stack pointer instead of using the instruction to calculate the new stack pointer value. In an out of order processor where register renaming is used, the information in the entry is used to remap the stack pointer to a different physical register. The data structure may be implemented as a stack (prediction stack) or a cache structure. In other embodiments, stack pointer caching may be implemented in a load/store unit of the processor.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining the configuration of a cellular transmission system
Inventor: GARCIA FRANCISCO JAVIER
IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 2015-03-25
Abstract: A method for operating a data processing system to determine the operational parameters of a communication system between a Radio Equipment Control REC and a Radio Equipment RE that utilizes a Common Public Radio Interface CPRI (RTM) data link for communication. The data processing system is synchronized with the CPRI frames and determines a plurality of CPRI frame characteristics from the CPRI frames by examining a plurality of predetermined locations in the CPRI frames. The plurality of CPRI frame characteristics for one or more of the CPRI frames, and a first model of the communication system are used to generate a first broadcast frame that would be generated by the one or more CPRI frames if the first model accurately described the communication system. The first broadcast frame is tested to determine if the first broadcast frame is consistent with the first model. If the broadcast frame is inconsistent, a new model is chosen and the process repeated.
