Abstract
In some implementations, a processor includes a plurality of parallel instruction pipes, a register file includes at least one shared read port configured to be shared across multiple pipes of the plurality of parallel instruction pipes. Control logic controls multiple parallel instruction pipes to read from the at least one shared read port. In certain examples, the at least one shared register file read port is coupled as a single read port for one of the parallel instruction pipes and as a shared register file read port for a plurality of other parallel instruction pipes.
