ABSTRACT:
Store forwarding circuitry is provided to an out-of-order execution processor having a store buffer of buffered memory store operations. The store forwarding circuitry conditionally forwards store data for a memory load operation from a variable subset of the buffered memory store operations that is functionally dependent on the time the memory load operation is issued, taking into account the execution states of these buffered memory store operations. The memory load operation may be issued speculatively and/or executed out-of-order. The execution states of the buffered memory store operations may be speculatively executed or committed. The data and address aspects of the memory store operations may be executed separately.
