Abstract

Micro-operations (μops) are allocated into a μop cache by dividing, by a micro branch target buffer (μBTB), instructions into a first basic block in which the instructions are executed by a processing device and the first basic block corresponds to an edge of the instructions being executed by the processing device. The μBTB allocates the first basic block to an inverted basic block queue (IBBQ) and the IBBQ determines that the first basic block fits into the μop cache. The IBBQ allocates the first basic block to the μop cache based on a number of times the edge of the instructions corresponding to the first basic block is repeatedly executed by the processing device.
