Abstract:
In some embodiments, a data processing system includes a processing unit, a first load/store unit LSU and a second LSU configured to operate independently of the first LSU in single and multi-thread modes. A first store buffer is coupled to the first and second LSUs, and a second store buffer is coupled to the first and second LSUs. The first store buffer is used to execute a first thread in multi-thread mode. The second store buffer is used to execute a second thread in multi-thread mode. The first and second store buffers are used when executing a single thread in single thread mode.
