Abstract
Various example embodiments of a processor are presented. Various example embodiments of a processor may be configured to support split programmability of resources of a processor frontend of the processor. Various example embodiments of a processor are configured to support split programmability of resources of a processor frontend of the processor in a manner enabling assignment of split programmable resources of the frontend of the processor to control blocks of a program being executed by the processor. Various example embodiments of a processor are configured to support split programmability of micro-operations (UOPs) cache (UC) resources of the frontend of the processor (which may then be referred to as a split programmable (SP) UC (SP-UC), where it may be referred to as 'split' since there are multiple UCs and may be referred to as “programmable” since selection of the active UC from the set of multiple UCs is controllable by the program executed by the processor).
