Abstract

Register renaming is a critical component of modern superscalar processor to exploit the instruction level parallelism, the foundation of it is to record the mappings between logical registers and physical registers in the RAT. If the branch prediction is error, the RAT needs to recover to the status at the branch. The commonly used recovery methods don't take advantage of the locality of renaming, as instruction window size increases, all of them exposit the problem of too costly. This paper proposed a region-based rename recovery method, by modify the walk method, used region scoreboards to determine the range of addresses to be scanned, and precisely controlled the scan process in each region, resource waste could be greatly reduced. Through the analysis of synthesis and performance reports, this method's performance is close to the traditional checkpoint recovery method with much less area and power, and has better expansion potential.
