Abstract
The invention provides a processor that processes bundles of instructions preferentially through clusters or execution units according to thread characteristics. The cluster architectures of the invention preferably include capability to process 'multi-threaded' instructions. Selectively, the architecture either (a) processes singly-threaded instructions through a single cluster to avoid bypassing and to increase throughput, or (b) processes singly-threaded instructions through multiple processes to increase 'per thread' performance. The architecture may be “configurable” to operate in one of two modes: in a “wide” mode of operation, the processor's internal clusters collectively process bundled instructions of one thread of a program at the same time; in a “throughput” mode of operation, those clusters independently process instruction bundles of separate program threads. Clusters are often implemented on a common die, with a core and register file per cluster.
