Title:
METHOD FOR IMPROVING PARALLELISM OF INSTRUCTION EXECUTION AND DEVICE THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3160259
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve parallelism execution of an instruction by permitting the execution of each instruction updating and using an integral exceptional register(XER) in out-of-order.
SOLUTION: In a central processing unit having a pipeline architecture, an integral instruction using and updating an XER can be executed in out-of- order by using an XER rename mechanism. An instruction updating the XER is provided with a corresponding instruction identifier(IID) stored in a register. The following instruction using the data in the XER decides the point of time of the update of the XER data by an instruction corresponding to the IID. When each instruction updating the XER data is executed, the data are stored in an XER rename buffer, and an instruction using the XER data afterwards obtains the updated valid XER data from the rename buffer.
