Title: An apparatus and method for controlling use of a register cache
Inventor: LUCA SCALABRINO
IPC: G06F12/0862
Filed: 2017-07-04
Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling register cache prefetch. The apparatus has execution circuitry, a register file, and a register cache to cache a subset of the data values from the register file. Prefetch circuitry prefetches data values from the register file into the register cache. For each data value to be generated as a result of instructions being executed within the execution circuitry, timing indication storage holds a register address and timing information indicating when that data value will be generated 510. Cache usage control circuitry receives a plurality of register addresses associated with source data values for a pending instruction yet to be executed by the execution circuitry, to generate, with reference to the timing information, a timing control signal to control timing of at least one prefetch operation performed by the prefetch circuitry 515. When a pending instruction is dependent on the result from an earlier process, loading of the values relating to the pending instruction into the register cache may be deferred until the earlier process has completed.

Title: Sync network
Inventor: LARS PAUL HUUSE
IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2019-12-23
Abstract: A host computer system is interfaced to subsystems via a gateway. The subsystems exchange data at precompiled synchronization points. The gateway has a synchronization propagation circuit, which receives synchronization requests and propagates them through the synchronisation network via different paths. In response to at least one synchronization acknowledgement, the acknowledgment is propagated down the paths, from which the requests were received. If an acknowledgement is not received along one of the paths, down which the requests were sent, then future requests are not propagated along that path. The receipt may be considered to have failed after a timeout has expired. The gateway may propagate a single synchronization request in response to receiving multiple requests. It may propagate requests to another gateway.
