摘要:
According to one aspect of the invention, a microprocessor is provided that includes an execution core, a first replay mechanism and a second replay mechanism. The execution core performs data speculation in executing a first instruction. The first replay mechanism is used to replay the first instruction via a first replay path if an error of a first type is detected which indicates that the data speculation is erroneous. The second replay mechanism is used to replay the first instruction via a second replay path if an error of a second type is detected which indicates that the data speculation is erroneous.
