Abstract
In an example, an apparatus includes a binary translator (BT) including circuitry to: analyze a code block; determine that an architectural register mapped to a physical register in the physical register file is available for early reclamation; and insert a reclamation hint into the code block. In another example, a processor reclaims the physical register based at least in part on the reclamation hint.
