Abstract:
A processing pipeline for processing instructions with instructions from multiple threads in flight concurrently may have control circuitry to detect a stalling event associated with a given thread. In response, at least one instruction of the given thread may be flushed from the pipeline, and the control circuitry may trigger fetch circuitry to reduce a fraction of the fetched instructions which are fetched from the given thread. A mechanism is also described to determine when to trigger a predetermined action when a delay in accessing information becomes greater than a delay threshold, and to update the delay threshold based on a difference between a return delay when the information is returned from the storage circuitry and the delay threshold.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising a first confidence counter to store a first confidence value, and a second confidence counter to store a second confidence value;\n when t i \u2212T is smaller than a first amount, where t i  is the return delay and T is the delay threshold, the threshold updating circuitry is configured to adjust the first confidence value to move towards a first predetermined value, and to increase the delay threshold when the adjustment to the first confidence value causes the first confidence value to reach said first predetermined value; when t i \u2212T is greater than a second amount, the threshold updating circuitry is configured to adjust the first confidence value to move away from the first predetermined value, to adjust the second confidence value to move towards a second predetermined value, and to reduce the delay threshold when the adjustment to the second confidence value causes the second confidence value to reach said second predetermined value; and when T\u2212t i  is smaller than a third amount, the threshold updating circuitry is configured to adjust the second confidence counter to move away from the second predetermined value.
