Abstract
EN ESTE INVENTO SE DESCRIBE UN SISTEMA DE RESOLUCION DE INSTRUCCIONES DE BIFURCACION DE CUATRO ETAPAS PARA UN PROCESADOR EN CASCADA. UNA PRIMERA ETAPA DEL SISTEMA DE RESOLUCION DE INSTRUCCIONES DE BIFURCACION, TAL COMO UNA UNIDAD DE RASTREO DE INSTRUCCIONES QUE PUEDE RASTREAR CONTINUAMENTE INSTRUCCIONES, PREDICE LA EXISTENCIA Y EL RESULTADO DE LAS INSTRUCCIONES DE BIFURCACION DENTRO DE UNA CORRIENTE DE INSTRUCCIONES. UNA SEGUNDA ETAPA DECODIFICA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES RASTREADAS. SI LA ETAPA DE DECODIFICACION DETERMINA QUE UNA INSTRUCCION DE BIFURCACION PREDICHA POR LA PRIMERA ETAPA NO ES UNA INSTRUCCION DE BIFURCACION, LA ETAPA DE DECODIFICACION DESCARGA EL CANAL Y REINICIA EL PROCESADOR EN UNA DIRECCION CORRECTA. LA ETAPA DE DECODIFICACION VERIFICA TODAS LAS PREDICCIONES DE BIFURCACION HECHAS POR LA ETAPA DE PREDICCION DE BIFURCACION. FINALMENTE, LA ETAPA DE DECODIFICACION HACE PREDICCIONES DE BIFURCACION PARA LAS BIFURCACIONES NO PREDICHAS POR LA ETAPA DE PREDICCION DE BIFURCACION. UNATERCERA ETAPA EJECUTA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES DE BIFURCACION PARA DETERMINAR UN RESULTADO DE BIFURCACION FINAL Y UNA DIRECCION OBJETO DE BIFURCACION FINAL. LA ETAPA DE EJECUCION DE BIFURCACION COMPARA EL RESULTADO DE BIFURCACION FINAL Y LA DIRECCION OBJETO DE BIFURCACION FINAL CON EL RESULTADO DE BIFURCACION PREDICHO Y LA DIRECCION OBJETO DE BIFURCACION PREDICHA PARA DETERMINAR SI EL PROCESADOR DEBE DE DESCARGAR EL EXTREMO DELANTERO DEL CANAL DEL MICROPROCESADOR Y REINICIAR EN UNA DIRECCION CORRECTA. UNA ETAPA FINAL DE RESOLUCION DE BIFURCACION RETIRA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES DE BIFURCACION. LA ETAPA DE ELIMINACION ASEGURA QUE NO SE COMETEN PERMANENTEMENTE EN CUALQUIER INSTRUCCION RASTREADA DESPUES DE UN BIFURCACION MAL PREDICHA.
