摘要
A method of performing a thread switching operation within a multithreaded processor includes detecting dispatch of a first predetermined quantity of instruction information of a first thread, from an instruction streaming buffer to an instruction pre-decoder within the multithreaded processor. Responsive to the detection of the dispatch of the first predetermined quantity of instruction information for the first thread, a thread switching operation is performed with respect to the output of the instruction streaming buffer. The dispatch of instruction information for a second thread from the instruction streaming buffer is thus commenced. The predetermined quantity of the instruction information may be equal to or greater than a minimum quantity of instruction information for a full instruction of a first instruction set.
