Abstract

A processorutilising register renaming executes program instructions requiring a large number of architectural register specifiers to be renamed by dividing the renaming tasks into an initial set and a remaining set. The initial set are performed first and the results passed via a main channelfor further processing. The remaining set are performed in sequence with the results being passed via a background channelfor further processing. This technique is particularly useful for performing renaming operations for load/store multiple LDM instructions.
