Abstract
A microprocessor that includes a shared functional unit, a first execution queue and a second execution queue is introduced. The first execution queue includes a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the first execution queue includes a first count value which is decremented until the first count value reaches 0. The first execution queue dispatches the first-type instruction to the shared functional unit when the first count value reaches 0. The second execution queue include a plurality of entries, wherein each entry of the second execution queue comprises a second count value which is decremented until the second count value reaches 0. The second execution queue dispatches the second-type instruction to the shared functional unit when the second count value reaches 0. The issue unit resolves all data dependencies and resource conflicts so that the first and second count values are preset for the first-type and second-type instructions to be mutually executed at the exact time in the future by the shared functional unit.
