Abstract
A processor includes an execution unit to execute instructions and a scheduler unit to store a queue of instructions for execution by the execution unit. The scheduler unit includes a wake array including a plurality of source slots to store source identifiers for sources associated with the instructions, a picker to schedule a particular instruction for execution in the execution unit, broadcast a destination identifier associated with the particular instruction to a first subset of the source slots, and a delay element to receive the destination identifier broadcast by the picker and communicate a delayed version of the destination identifier to a second subset of the source slots different from the first subset.
