20110238966 | BRANCH PREDICTION METHOD AND BRANCH PREDICTION CIRCUIT FOR EXECUTING THE SAME - A branch prediction method executed in a branch prediction circuit executes the branch instruction, the branch prediction method includes: a branch information storing process for storing the information in the first storage unit or the second storage unit; a process for determining on the basis of a branch condition set by the branch instruction and a realized branch whether the branch prediction is realized; a rewriting process for performing a rewrite of the information in one of the first storage unit and the second storage unit in accordance with the determination and the degree of likelihood that a branch indicated by the branch prediction occurs; and a process for performing branch prediction in response to the branch information when the branch instruction is executed in the processor. | 09-29-2011 |
20120124332 | VECTOR PROCESSING CIRCUIT, COMMAND ISSUANCE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROCESSOR SYSTEM - A vector processing circuit includes a vector register file including a plurality of array elements, a command issuance control circuit, and a plurality of pipeline arithmetic units. Each pipeline arithmetic unit performs arithmetic processing of data stored in the array elements indicated as a source by one command in parts through a plurality of cycles and stores the result in the array elements indicated as a destination by the one command through a plurality of cycles. When data word length of a preceding command is longer than that of a subsequent command, the command issuance control circuit changes data sizes of the array elements in accordance with data word length of the command and determines whether there is register interference between the array element to be processed at a non-head cycle of the preceding command, and the array element to be processed at a head cycle of the subsequent command. | 05-17-2012 |
