Notes / To Do
| Notes | Need help to clarify descriptions. What is the difference between "register tracking" and "detecting the change to the contents of a register"? On the surface it appears to be the same activity,just different descriptions. |
Excerpt
Excerpt " The paper describes the tracking schemes, analyzes their
performance potential in a deeply pipelined processor and
discusses the integration of tracking with memory
disambiguation." |
Relevance
Claims
8
A method comprising:
detecting a change to the contents of a register; and
generating a pre-computation slice based on the contents of the register.
Relevance
Detecting the change to the contents of a register and executing a portion of software based upon the contents of that register appear to be the same as tracking a register and then executing some activity based upon the register results. More importantly the latter might be a generalization of the method.

15
A system comprising:
a memory;
a processor including:
a cache;
a register tracker to generate a pre-computation slice; and
a pre-computation engine to execute the pre-computation slice to cause data to be prefetched from the memory to the cache.
