Title: Superforwarding processor
Inventor: WANG QIAN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2014-03-11
Abstract: A method comprises comparing 810 a value of a source register for an instruction against a key for each valid entry in a superforwarding table 504, and modifying the instruction by replacing the value of the source register with a value in a forward field if there is a match. The method may further comprise identifying a register to register (RtR) transfer instruction, which transfers a value of a source register to a destination register, and updating an entry in the superforwarding table by setting a valid bit and storing the destination register in the key field and the source register in the forward field. The source register may be looked up in a register rename table 506 to determine an associated physical register, and the instruction may be modified by replacing the source register with this physical register if there is not a match in the superforwarding table. A processor comprises a superforwarding table and logic to determine if an instruction can use information in the forward field. A storage medium having program code for generating a computer processor comprises a superforwarding table and logic to determine which register contains the information needed for an instruction.
