Abstract

An external intrinsic interface. A processor may include a core including a plurality of functional units, an intrinsic module located outside the core, and an interface module to perform relaying between the intrinsic module and a functional unit, among the plurality of functional units.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A processor, comprising:
a core comprising of functional units;
an intrinsic module disposed outside the core; and
an interface module to perform relaying between the intrinsic module and a functional unit among the functional units, such that stall cycle hiding is performed in response to a stall occurring in the core or the intrinsic module, and wherein whether the stall cycle hiding is performed by an output FIFO register or an input FIFO register is…
