===== Execution Units =====
 
===== Execution Units =====
Some of the biggest architectural changes were done in the area of the execution units. Haswell widened the scheduler by two ports - one new integer dispatch port and a new memory port bringing the total to 8 µOps/cycle. The various ports have also been rebalanced. The new port 6 adds another Integer ALU designs to improve integer workloads freeing up Port 0 and 1 for vector works. It also adds a second branch unit to lower the congestion for Port 0. The second port that was added, Port 7 adds a new [[address generation unit|AGU]]. This is largely due to the improvements for {{x86|AVX2}} that roughly doubled its throughput. Port 0 had its ALU/Mul/shifter extended to 256-bits; same is true for the vector ALU on port 1 and the ALU/shuffle on port 5. Additionally a 256-bit FMA unit were added to both port 0 and port 1. The change makes it possible for FMAs and FMULs to issue on both ports. In theory, Haswell can peak at over double the performance of {{\|Sandy Bridge}}, with 16 double / 32 single precision [[FLOP]]/cycle + Integer ALU option +  Vector operation.

The scheduler dispatches up to 8 ready µOps/cycle in [[FIFO]] order through the dispatch ports. µOps involving computational operations are sent to ports 0, 1, 5, and 6 to the appropriate unit. Likewise ports 2, 3, 4 and 7 are used for load/store and address calculations.
