Abstract
An apparatus includes a clock to produce pulses and an electronic hardware structure having a plurality of rows and one or more ports. Each row is adapted to record a separate latency vector written through one of the ports. The latency vector recorded therein is responsive to the clock. A method of dispatching instructions in a processor includes updating a plurality of expected latencies to a portion of rows of a register latency table, and decreasing the expected latencies remaining in other of the rows in response to a clock pulse. The rows of the portion correspond to particular registers.
