Methods for read after write forwarding using a virtual address are disclosed. A method includes determining when a virtual address has been remapped from corresponding to a first physical address to a second physical address and determining if all stores occupying a store queue before the remapping have been retired from the store queue. Loads that are younger than the stores that occupied the store queue before the remapping are prevented from being dispatched and executed until the stores that occupied the store queue before the remapping have left the store queue and become globally visible.
