ABSTRACT:
According to some embodiments, determining a new value to be pushed onto a hardware stack having n entries is determined. Each entry in the stack may include a data portion and an associated counter. If the new value equals the data portion of the entry associated with a current top of stack pointer, the counter associated with that entry is incremented. If the new value does not equal the data portion associated with the current top of stack pointer, the new value is stored in the data portion of the next entry and the current top of stack pointer is advanced.
