Abstract
A method for restoring a mapper of a processor core includes saving first information in a staging latch. The first information represents a newly dispatched first instruction of the processor core and is saved in an entry latch of a save-and-restore buffer. In response to reception of a flush command of the processor core, the restoration of the mapper is begun with the first information from the staging latch without waiting for a comparison of a flush tag of the flush command with the entry latch of the save-and-restore buffer. A processor core configured to perform the method described above is also provided. A processor core is also provided that includes a dispatch, a mapper, a save-and-restore buffer that includes entry latches and is connected to the mapper via at least one pipeline, and a register disposed in the at least one pipeline.
