Provided are techniques for handling a store buffer in conjunction with a processor, the store buffer comprising a free list; a merge window; and an evict list; and logic, for, upon receipt of a T_STORE operation, comparing a first address associated with the T_STORE operation with a plurality of addresses associated with previous T_STORE operations, wherein the previous T_STORE operations are part of the same transaction as the T_STORE operation and the entries corresponding to the previous T_STORE operations are stored in the merge window; in response to a match between the first address and a second address, associated with a second T_STORE operation, of the plurality of addresses, merging a first entry corresponding to the first T_STORE operation with a second entry corresponding to the second T_STORE operation; and consolidating results associated with the first T_STORE operation with results associated with the second T_STORE operation. |
