Title: Power-saving suspension of instruction stream in processor
Inventor: STEPHENS NIGEL JOHN
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2008-08-29
Abstract: A computing system comprises a processor (100, fig. 1A) with a load-linked register (123, fig. 1) and a register file (103, fig. 1) comprising a plurality of registers. A first instruction 502 is executed that loads a first value, specified by the instruction, into a first register of the register file. The instruction also loads a second value into a load-linked register. A second instruction 506 is conditionally executed and suspends execution of a stream of instructions associated with the load-linked register until the second value in the load-linked register is altered. As a result of executing the second instruction, the power supplied to a portion of the processor is reduced. A third instruction 510 is conditionally executed and loads a value representing the state of the load-linked register to the register of the register file. In an embodiment, if the value in the load-linked register is unaltered since execution of the first instruction the third instruction moves a value from the first register of the register file to a memory location specified by the third instruction.
