Intel heeft twee nieuwe patenten geregistreerd die de architectuur van de 64-bits Intel Merced wat ontwazigen. EETimes heeft er een artikel over:
Two newly issued patents appear to provide the deepest insight yet available into the inner workings of Intel Corp.'s upcoming Merced microprocessor.[...]he first patent probably sheds more light on how Merced actually implements predication while processing multiple instruction streams.
[...]atent 5,860,017 details how multiple instruction streams can be speculatively executed, which is the tough task faced by Merced. Speculative execution on its own is difficult; speculatively executing more than one instruction stream is much, much tougher.
Als je zin hebt in een zooi heftige technische info moet je ff dat nieuwsbericht van EETimes gaan lezen...
