Abstract:
Managing a global completion table used to track progress of groups of instructions, in which each group of instructions includes one or more instructions. Entries of the global completion table are allocated to the groups of instructions from a freelist of entries. That is, entries are allocated from a pool of entries, rather than allocating entries in-order in a circular queue.
