ABSTRACT:
A match bus operation circuit is disclosed for detecting load/store conflicts created by out-of-order instruction execution in a superscalar microprocessor having first and second busses. A ratio logic compare circuit generates a match bus indicating a match or conflict between the first and second busses. A ratio logic priority circuit is coupled to the ratio logic compare circuit for receiving the match bus and generating a priority bus indicating a first match of the match bus. A ratio logic mask circuit is also coupled to the ratio logic compare circuit for receiving the match bus and generating a mask bus that flags all instructions after the first match for discarding. A ratio logic multiple hit circuit is also coupled to the ratio logic compare circuit and indicates whether more than one instruction has matched.
