摘要:
Techniques are disclosed that relate to executing fused instructions. A processor may include a decoder circuit and a load/store circuit. The decoder circuit may detect a load/store instruction to load a value from a memory and detect a non-load/store instruction that depends on the value to be loaded. The decoder circuit may fuse the load/store instruction and the non-load/store instruction such that one or more operations that the non-load/store instruction is defined to perform are to be executed within the load/store circuit. The load/store circuit may receive an indication of the fused load/store and non-load/store instructions and then execute one or more operations of the load/store instruction and the one or more operations of the non-load/store instruction using a circuit included in the load/store circuit.
