摘要：
A method and system to perform stream buffer management instructions in a processor. The stream buffer management instructions facilitate the creation and usage of a dedicated memory space or stream buffer of the processor in one embodiment of the invention. The dedicated memory space is a contiguous memory space and has a sequential or linear addressing scheme in one embodiment of the invention. The processor has logic to execute a stream buffer management instruction to copy data from a source memory address to a destination memory address that is specified with a desired level of memory hierarchy.
