Abstract:
Fast issuance and execution of a multi-width instruction across multiple slices in a parallel slice processor core is supported in part through the use of an early notification signal passed between issue logic associated with multiple slices handling that multi-width instruction coupled with an issuance of a different instruction by the originating issue logic for the early notification signal.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of executing instructions in a processor core including a plurality of parallel execution slices configured to execute instructions from one or more instruction streams, the method comprising;\n in a first issue logic circuit of a first execution slice among the plurality of parallel execution slices, queuing instructions dispatched to the first execution slice and issuing queued instructions for execution by the first execution slice; in a second issue logic circuit of a second execution slice among the plurality of parallel execution slices, queuing instructions dispatched to the second execution slice and issuing queued instructions for execution by the second execution slice; queuing first and second portions of a multi-width instruction in the first and second issue logic circuits, respectively; and in the first issue logic circuit, initiating execution of the multi-width instruction by the first and second execution slices by:\n in a first issue cycle, communicating an early issue notification signal to the second issue logic circuit to cause the second issue logic circuit to prepare for issuance of the multi-width instruction during a second issue cycle; \n also in the first issue cycle, issuing a queued instruction other than the first portion of the multi-width instruction for execution by the first execution slice; and \n in the second issue cycle, issuing the first portion of the multi-width instruction for execution by the first execution slice.
