Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and systems relating to memory disambiguation are described. In one embodiment, a processor includes a decoder to decode an instruction into a decoded instruction, an execution unit to execute the decoded instruction, a retirement unit to retire an executed instruction in program order, and a memory disambiguation circuit to allocate an entry in a memory disambiguation table for a first load instruction that is to be flushed for a memory ordering violation, the entry comprising a counter value and an instruction pointer for the first load instruction.
