Abstract
Various example embodiments for supporting affinity groups in a micro-operations cache (UC) of a processor are presented herein. Various example embodiments for supporting affinity groups in a UC of a processor may be configured to support grouping of cache lines of the UC into affinity groups. Various example embodiments for supporting affinity groups in a UC of a processor may be configured to support grouping of cache lines of the UC into affinity groups such that micro-operations (UOPs) of multiple cache lines of an affinity group may be supplied to an execution unit of the processor as a group, thereby enabling execution of the UOPs of the multiple cache lines of the affinity group within a given clock cycle of the processor.
