Scheduler queue assignment

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing scheduler queue assignment logic are disclosed. A processor includes at least a decode unit, scheduler queue assignment logic, scheduler queues, pickers, and execution units. The assignment logic receives a plurality of operations from a decode unit in each clock cycle. The assignment logic includes a separate logical unit for each different type of operation which is executable by the different execution units of the processor. For each different type of operation, the assignment logic determines which of the possible assignment permutations are valid for assigning different numbers of operations to scheduler queues in a given clock cycle. The assignment logic receives an indication of how many operations to assign in the given clock cycle, and then the assignment logic selects one of the valid assignment permutations for the number of operations specified by the indication.
