ABSTRACT:
The latencies associated with retrieving instruction information for a main thread are decreased through the use of a simultaneous helper thread. The helper thread is permitted to execute Store instructions. Store blocker logic operates to prevent data associated with a Store instruction in a helper thread from being committed to memory. Dependence blocker logic operates to prevent data associated with a Store instruction in a speculative helper thread from being bypassed to a Load instruction in a non-speculative thread.
