Abstract
The disclosed system may include a processor configured to detect that a data unit size for an instruction is smaller than a register. The processor may allocate a first portion of the register to the instruction in a manner that leaves a second portion of the register available for allocating to an additional instruction. The processor may also track the register as a split register. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
