ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing the amount of resources allocated for handling multiplexing in a processor. Characteristics associated with processing blocks are analyzed. Operand restrictions and register groups can be configured to allow the use of more resource efficient multiplexing circuitry in a processor.
