RUN-TIME CODE PARALLELIZATION WITH CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF REPETITIVE INSTRUCTION SEQUENCES

摘要

A method includes, in a processor (20) that executes instructions of program code, monitoring instructions of a repetitive sequence of the instructions that traverses a flow-control trace so as to construct a specification of register access by the monitored instructions. Based on the specification, multiple hardware threads are invoked to execute respective segments of the repetitive instruction sequence at least partially in parallel. Monitoring of the instructions continues in at least one of the segments during execution.
