Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to critical path identification and prioritization. In some embodiments, criticality detection circuitry is configured to sparsely assign tokens to a subset of instructions to be executed by pipeline circuitry, track a distance between execution of the instruction and execution of one or more instructions that depend on the instruction, and train instructions as predicted-critical or not based on tracked distances. In some embodiments, scheduling circuitry is configured to prioritize predicted-critical instructions over other instructions for issuance.
