  • Processor utilizing novel architectural ordering scheme
    Publication number: 20060212682
    Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and systems in which a processor includes an issue engine and an in-order execution pipeline. The issue engine categorizes operations as at least one of either a speculative operation which perform computations or an architectural operation which has potential to fault or cause an exception. Each architectural operation issues with an associated architectural micro-operation. A first micro-operation checks whether a first speculative operation is dependent upon an intervening first architectural operation. The in-order execution pipeline executes the speculative operation, the architectural operation, and the associated architectural micro-operations.
    Type: Application
