US Patent 10191724 Compiler-based instruction scoreboarding

Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for compiler-based instruction scoreboarding. In an example, an apparatus comprises logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to remove unnecessary dependence edges from a data dependency graph, partition the data dependency graph into a plurality of sub-graphs, determine a live range for each of the plurality of sub-graphs, and assign a scoreboard entry to each of the plurality of sub-graphs, wherein sub-graphs which have interfering live ranges are assigned different scoreboard entries.
