Abstract
A register renaming technique for dynamic multithreading. One disclosed embodiment includes a register map to store up to M×N values to map M registers for N threads. A set of N values, one per thread, and a set of state bits is associated with each of the M registers. Each set of state bits indicates which of the N values per register are valid and whether ones of the N sets of values have been written by a dynamic execution thread. In response to termination of a dynamic execution thread, recovery logic may update state bits associated with ones of the M registers that were written to during dynamic execution.
