Abstract
Instruction information generation circuitry generates instruction information. Instruction information storage circuitry comprises a plurality of elements having physical sub-elements configured to temporarily store units of instruction information. Allocation circuitry is configured to receive, from the instruction information generation circuitry, given instruction information. It determines a mapping of a plurality of ordered virtual sub-elements, such that each virtual sub-element maps onto a respective one of said physical sub-elements. The given instruction information is stored into the virtual sub-elements of a given element, according to the mapping, such that at least one virtual sub-element lower in said order has a higher priority than at least one virtual sub-element higher in said order. Sub-element deactivation circuitry is configured to track usage of said virtual sub-elements across the plurality of elements and adaptively deactivate virtual sub-elements.
