- It can be applied in various computing devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and servers.
- It can be beneficial in high-performance computing environments, where optimizing instruction execution is crucial.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Complex processor instructions can slow down the execution speed and consume more power.
- Simplifying instructions can help improve overall performance and reduce energy consumption.
- This technology addresses the need for dynamic instruction simplification, allowing for real-time optimization.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance: Simplifying instructions can lead to faster execution times and better overall system performance.
- Energy efficiency: By simplifying instructions, the technology can help reduce power consumption, leading to energy savings.
- Flexibility: The ability to dynamically simplify instructions allows for adaptability to different workloads and applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided methods and devices for dynamically simplifying processor instructions. A method includes receiving, at a computing device, processor instructions and determining, by the computing device, if instruction simplification is enabled for an instruction being processed. The method further includes determining, by the computing device, from an instruction simplification table if the instruction is capable of being simplified and scheduling, by the computing device, a simplified instruction based on the determination from the instruction simplification table. A device includes a processor, and a non-transient computer readable memory having stored thereon instructions which when executed by the processor configure the device to execute the methods disclosed herein.
