Abstract
An alternate multi-thread pipeline structure and method are provided. A deep pipeline is provided in which two threads of two separate pipeline stages are alternatively presented to the various logic and latch circuits for execution. The execution and latching of the threads alternates from one thread to the other within a single clock cycle. Thus, each thread is executed once per clock cycle and two threads are executed in a single clock cycle.
