ABSTRACT:
A memory addressing technique using load buffers is described. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to a method and apparatus for accessing data in a computer system by exploiting addressing mode information within an instruction such that if present, data may be obtained from the load buffers, rather than accessing a cache memory or other memory device within the computer system.
