HAZARD PREDICTION FOR A GROUP OF MEMORY ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS USING A BUFFER ASSOCIATED WITH BRANCH PREDICTION

摘要

Various aspects provide for facilitating prediction of instruction pipeline hazards in a processor system. A system comprises a fetch component and an execution component. The fetch component is configured for storing a hazard prediction associated with a group of memory access instructions in a buffer associated with branch prediction. The execution component is configured for executing a memory access instruction associated with the group of memory access instructions as a function of the hazard prediction entry. In an aspect, the hazard prediction entry is configured for predicting whether the group of memory access instructions is associated with an instruction pipeline hazard.
