Abstract
To achieve low-latency register error correction, a register can be read as part of an instruction when that instruction is the currently executing instruction in a processor. A correctable error in data produced from reading the register can be detected. In response to detecting the correctable error, the currently executing instruction in the processor can be changed into a register update instruction that is executed to overwrite the data in the register with corrected data. Then, the original (e.g., unchanged) instruction can be rescheduled.
