Abstract
A multiple dispatch processor has several instruction fetch units, each for providing a stream of instructions to an instruction decode and dispatch unit. The processor also has an resource allocation unit, and multiple resources such as combined integer and address execution pipelines and floating point execution pipelines. Each instruction decode and dispatch unit requests resources needed to perform an instruction of the resource allocation unit, which arbitrates among the multiple instruction decode and dispatch units.
