Instruction Issue Rules

2.3.2 Ebox Slotting

Instructionsthat are issued from the IQ, and could execute in either upper or lower

Ebox subclusters,are slotted to one pair or the other during the pipeline mapping stage

basedon the instructionmixture in the fetch line. The codes that are used in Table2–3

are as follows:

•U—The instructiononly executes in an upper subcluster.

•L—The instructiononly executes in a lower subcluster.

•E—The instructioncould execute in either an upper or lower subcluster.

Table2–3 defines the slotting rules. The table fieldInstruction Class 3, 2, 1 and 0 iden-

tifieseach instruction’s location in the fetch line by the value of bits [3:2] in its PC.
