Abstract:
An apparatus and method of operating a data processing apparatus are provided. The data processing circuitry is responsive to a hint instruction to then assert at least one performance modifying control signal, when subsequently generating control signals for other data processing instructions. This causes the data processing functional hardware which performs the data processing operations defined by the data processing instructions to operate in a modified manner, although the data processing results produced do not change in dependence on whether the at least one performance modifying control signal is asserted.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of operating a data processing apparatus comprising:\n generating control signals in dependence on a sequence of data processing instructions; operating data processing functional hardware in response to the control signals in an operating procedure to perform data processing operations defined by the sequence of data processing instructions to produce data processing results; asserting at least one performance modifying control signal when generating the control signals for the sequence of data processing instructions in response to a hint instruction preceding the sequence of data processing instructions; and operating the data processing functional hardware in response to assertion of the at least one performance modifying control signal and the control signals in a modified operating procedure to perform the data processing operations defined by the sequence of data processing instructions to produce the data processing results, wherein the modified operating procedure differs from the operating procedure.
