21264/EV67 Microarchitecture

Figure 2–6 Integer Execution Unit—Clusters 0 and 1

Most instructions have 1-cycle latency for consumers that execute within the same clus-
ter. Also, there is another 1-cycle delay associated with producing a value in one cluster 
and consuming the value in the other cluster. The instruction issue queue minimizes the 
performance effect of this cross-cluster delay. The Ebox contains the following 
resources:

•

Four 64-bit adders that are used to calculate results for integer add instructions 
(located in U0, U1, L0, and L1)

•

The adders in the lower subclusters that are used to generate the effective virtual 
address for load and store instructions (located in L0 and L1)

•

Four logic units

•

Two barrel shifters and associated byte logic (located in U0 and U1)

•

Two sets of conditional branch logic (located in U0 and U1)

•

Two copies of an 80-entry register file

•

One pipelined multiplier (located in U1) with 7-cycle latency for all integer multiply 
operations

•

One fully-pipelined unit (located in U0), with 3-cycle latency, that executes the fol-
lowing instructions:

–

CTLZ, CTPOP, CTTZ

–

PERR, MINxxx, MAXxxx, UNPKxx, PKxx
