More Information
Summary:A system and method of processing instructions may comprise an application processing domain (APD) and a metadata processing domain (MTD). The APD may comprise an application processor executing instructions and providing related information to the MTD. The MTD may comprise a tag processing unit (TPU) having a cache of policy-based rules enforced by the MTD. The TPU may determine, based on policies being enforced and metadata tags and operands associated with the instructions, that the instructions are allowed to execute (i.e., are valid). The TPU may write, if the instructions are valid, the metadata tags to a queue. The queue may (i) receive operation output information from the application processing domain, (ii) receive, from the TPU, the metadata tags, (iii) output, responsive to receiving the metadata tags, resulting information indicative of the operation output information and the metadata tags; and (iv) permit the resulting information to be written to memory.
