Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to instructions to reset software thread runtime property histories in a hardware processor are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes a hardware guide scheduler comprising a plurality of software thread runtime property histories; a decoder to decode a single instruction into a decoded single instruction, the single instruction having a field that identifies a model-specific register; and an execution circuit to execute the decoded single instruction to check that an enable bit of the model-specific register is set, and when the enable bit is set, to reset the plurality of software thread runtime property histories of the hardware guide scheduler.
