Abstract
A method for speeding the re-use of Physical Register Names (PRNs), and hence the processor registers, in a processor. The method involves returning a PRN to a freelist for reuse when it is obsolete even when it is not complete, and blocking writes to the Processor Register File (PRF) by obsolete realms.
