Abstract
A register renaming system for out-of-order execution of a set of reduced instruction set computer instructions having addressable source and destination register fields, adapted for use in a computer having an instruction execution unit with a register file accessed by read address ports and for storing instruction operands. A data dependence check circuit is included for determining data dependencies between the instructions. A tag assignment circuit generates one of more tags to specify the location of operands, based on the data dependencies determined by the data dependence check circuit. A set of register file port multiplexers select the tags generated by the tag assignment circuit and pass the tags onto the read address ports of the register file for storing execution results.
