ABSTRACT:
A data processing system includes a plurality of functional units that selectively execute instructions. A register file includes a plurality of registers that store data corresponding to the instructions. A reorder buffer communicates with the register file and stores the data, includes at least one bypassable buffer location, and includes at least one non-bypassable buffer location.
