Abstract
A circuit and a scheme for register renaming responsive to a thread ID register, comprises: a plurality of physical registers; a plurality of architectual registers; a rename logic circuit where every write to an architectual register of the plurality of architectural registers is assigned a new physical register of the plurality of physical registers; a register map circuit containing a corresponding entry for each of the plurality of architectual registers. The register map circuit is responsive to the thread ID register such that a different physical map is selected for architectual registers of each thread, whereby the plurality of architectual registers can be greater than the plurality of physical registers.
