Abstract

A technique for minimizing overhead caused by copying or moving a value from one cluster to another cluster is provided. A number of operations, for example, a mov operation for moving or copying a value from one cluster to another cluster and a normal operation may be executed concurrently. Accordingly, access to a register file outside of the cluster may be reduced and the performance of code may be improved.
