ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing a register renaming operation utilizing hardware which operates in at least two modes. In operation, hardware is operated in at least two modes including a first mode for operating the hardware using a logical register of a first bit width and a second mode for operating the hardware using a logical register of a second bit width. The first bit width is twice a width of the second bit width. Additionally, a register renaming operation is performed, including renaming at least one logical register to at least one physical register of the first bit width, utilizing the hardware.
