摘要:
A computer apparatus incorporating special instructions to force load and store operations to execute in program order. The present invention provides a new and novel store instruction that is suspended until all prior store instructions have been completed by an associated CPU. Also, a new load instruction is provided which blocks any subsequent load instructions from executing until this load instruction has been completed by an associated CPU. These instructions allow for high efficiency computer systems to be implemented which optimize instruction throughput by executing subsequent instructions while waiting for a prior instruction to complete.
