Abstract
A processor having one or more processing cores is described. Each of the one or more processing cores has front end logic circuitry and a plurality of processing units. The front end logic circuitry is to fetch respective instructions of threads and decode the instructions into respective micro-code and input operand and resultant addresses of the instructions. Each of the plurality of processing units is to be assigned at least one of the threads, is coupled to said front end unit, and has a respective buffer to receive and store microcode of its assigned at least one of the threads. Each of the plurality of processing units also comprises: i) at least one set of functional units corresponding to a complete instruction set offered by the processor, the at least one set of functional units to execute its respective processing unit's received microcode; ii) registers coupled to the at least one set of functional units to store operands and resultants of the received microcode; iii) data fetch circuitry to fetch input operands for the at least one functional units' execution of the received microcode.
