Abstract
A processor having a hashed and partitioned register file includes at least one execution unit, an instruction sequencing unit coupled to the execution unit, and a plurality of registers coupled to the execution unit. The plurality of registers are partitioned into a plurality of groups, such that registers within each group can store only data having associated addresses within a respective one of a plurality of subsets of an address space.
