A graphflow apparatus includes an information buffer (IB) and a load queue (LQ). The IB is configured to cache an instruction queue. The LQ is used to cache a read instruction queue. The IB includes a speculative bit and a speculative identity (ID) field. The speculative bit indicates whether a current instruction is a speculatively-executable instruction. The speculative ID field stores a speculative ID of one speculative operation on the current instruction.

Managing speculative instruction execution using speculative id in a graphflow apparatus

Disclosed are a graph instruction processing method and apparatus, which relates to the field of computer technologies One example method includes: detecting whether a first graph instruction has a conditional instruction element; and when the first graph instruction has the conditional instruction element, determining that the first graph instruction is a conditional execution instruction, and processing the first graph instruction when both data flow information and control flow information of the first graph instruction are in a ready state; or when the first graph instruction does not have a conditional instruction element, determining that the first graph instruction is a non-conditional execution instruction, and processing the first graph instruction when data flow information of the first graph instruction is in a ready state.

Graph instruction processing method and apparatus

This application discloses a processor, a processing method, and a related device. The processor includes a processor core. The processor core includes an instruction dispatching unit and a graph flow unit and at least one general-purpose operation unit that are connected to the instruction dispatching unit. The instruction dispatching unit is configured to: allocate a general-purpose calculation instruction in a decoded to-be-executed instruction to the at least one general-purpose calculation unit, and allocate a graph calculation control instruction in the decoded to-be-executed instruction to the graph calculation unit, where the general-purpose calculation instruction is used to instruct to execute a general-purpose calculation task, and the graph calculation control instruction is used to instruct to execute a graph calculation task. The at least one general-purpose operation unit is configured to execute the general-purpose calculation instruction. The graph flow unit is configured to execute the graph calculation control instruction.
