Deferral of dependent loads until after execution of colliding stores

In a scheduler, dependencies between newly received load microinstructions and older store microinstructions are predicted. If a dependency is predicted, the load microinstruction is stored in the scheduler with a marker to indicate that scheduling of the load microinstruction is to be deferred. The...

Summary:In a scheduler, dependencies between newly received load microinstructions and older store microinstructions are predicted. If a dependency is predicted, the load microinstruction is stored in the scheduler with a marker to indicate that scheduling of the load microinstruction is to be deferred. The marker may be cleared when the colliding store, the store that caused the dependency, has executed.
