Multi-processor systems and methods are disclosed. One embodiment may comprise a multi-processor system comprising a processor having a processor pipeline that executes program instructions with data from a speculative fill that is provided in response to a source request, and a backup system that retains information associated with a previous processor execution state corresponding to an instruct...

Typical cache architecture provides a single cache way prediction memory for use in predicting a cache way for both sequential and non-sequential instructions contained within a program stream. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of the prior art cache way prediction scheme lies in its efficiency when dealing with instructions that vary the PC in a non-sequential manner, such as branch instruction...

There is provided a system having an execution core operable to execute internal instructions. A translation buffer is operable to store a plurality of internal instruction blocks of one or more internal instructions where the internal instruction blocks are a dynamic translation of respective external instruction blocks of one or more external instructions.

High-precision floating-point function estimates are split in two instructions each: a low precision table lookup instruction and a linear interpolation instruction. Estimates of different functions can be implemented using this scheme: A separate table-lookup instruction is provided for each different function, while only a single interpolation instruction is needed, since the single interpolatio...

A method and device are provided that use a sequencer in the device to control interactions on an interface bus. The sequencer is programmed to interrupt a co-processor before execution of a command. Based on the interrupt signal and a stored error mode page, a false error condition is initiated by further programming the sequencer to operate abnormally. After recovery from the error condition, th...
