Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing as part of a processor pipeline a reprogrammable execution unit capable of executing specialized instructions are disclosed. A processor includes one or more reprogrammable execution units which can be programmed to execute different types of customized instructions. When the processor loads a program for execution, the processor loads a bitfile associated with the program. The processor programs a reprogrammable execution unit with the bitfile so that the reprogrammable execution unit is capable of executing specialized instructions associated with the program. During execution, a dispatch unit dispatches the specialized instructions to the reprogrammable execution unit for execution. The results of other instructions, such as integer and floating point instructions, are available immediately to instructions executing on the reprogrammable execution unit since the reprogrammable execution unit shares the processor registers with the integer and floating point execution units.
