ABSTRACT:
Fusing a load micro-operation (uop) together with an arithmetic uop. Intra-instruction fusing can increase cache memory storage efficiency and computer instruction processing bandwidth within a microprocessor without incurring significant computer system cost. Uops are fused, stored in a cache memory, un-fused, executed in parallel, and retired in order to optimized cost and performance.
