US Patent:

6968447, Nov 22, 2005

Filed:

Apr 13, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/833578

Inventors:

Joel Zvi Apisdorf - Reston VA, US
Sam Brandon Sandbote - Reston VA, US
Michael Daniel Poole - Reston VA, US

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

G06F013/00

US Classification:

712235, 712 22

Abstract:

A system and method forward data between processing elements. A first processing element includes an address register that stores a first memory address. A forwarding storage element is coupled to the first processing element. A second processing element, coupled to the forwarding storage element, transmits a second memory address to the forwarding storage element. The forwarding storage transmits the second memory address to the first processing element, and the first processing element compares the second memory address with the first memory address.

International Classification:

G06F 9/00

US Classification:

712216, 712235

Abstract:

A system and method process data elements with instruction-level parallelism. An instruction buffer holds a first instruction and a second instruction, the first instruction being associated with a first thread, and the second instruction being associated with a second thread. A dependency counter counts satisfaction of dependencies of instructions of the second thread on instructions of the first thread. An instruction control unit is coupled to the instruction buffer and the dependency counter, the instruction control unit increments and decrements the dependency counter according to dependency information included in instructions. An execution switch is coupled to the instruction control unit and the instruction buffer, and the execution switch routes instructions to instruction execution units.
