    Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate unblocking the integer pipeline during math pipeline phases in a graphics environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes an execution resource comprising: a thread arbiter; a plurality of execution pipeline hardware circuitry comprising a math execution pipeline and an integer execution pipeline to share resources of the thread arbiter; arbitration hardware circuitry to determine whether the math execution pipeline is available for loading math operand data of a math instruction; and a math instruction staging buffer to store the math operand data responsive to the math execution pipeline not being available; wherein the integer execution pipeline is to receive integer operand data for an integer instruction while bypassing the math operand data in the math instruction staging buffer; and wherein the math execution pipeline is to receive, responsive to the math execution pipeline becoming available, the math operand data from the math instruction staging buffer.
