Multiple data hazards detection and resolution unit |
June 30, 2009 |
| Order indication logic can be recycled for at least two different data hazards, thus reducing the amount of processor real estate consumed by data hazard resolution logic. The logic also allows a single priority picker to be utilized for coloring without the cost of additional pipeli |

Reducing resource consumption by ineffective write operations |
February 24, 2009 |
| It has been discovered that preventing performance of ineffective write operations reduces demand on memory bandwidth, as well as preventing unnecessary consumption of resources. A write operation is inspected to determine whether the write operation will effectively modify the desti |

Reducing resource consumption by ineffective write operations in a shared memory system |
April 29, 2008 |
| In a shared memory system, ineffective write operations ("dead stores") can be handled in a manner to reduce unnecessary consumption of resources. In a shared memory system, when a non-owning processing unit requests data from a shared memory location owned by another processing unit |

Efficient read after write bypass |
March 11, 2008 |
| Predicting address matches between a read type operation and a write type operation based on address representations allows for efficient RAW bypass. The spatial locality characteristic of code allows for address match prediction with address representations that are smaller than the |
