Abstract:
A load instruction, for loading a register among a set of registers, is scheduled. Associated with scheduling the load instruction, a register dependency vector, corresponding to the register, is set to a state identifying the load instruction. A consumer instruction is scheduled, having a set of operand register and a target register, the register being in the set of operand registers. A target register dependency vector, corresponding to the target register is set in the memory. Based at least in part on the register being in the set of operand registers, a value of the target register dependency vector identifies the load instruction. Optionally, upon receiving a cache miss notice associated with the load instruction, the target register dependency vector is retrieved.
