Embodiments related to re-dispatching an instruction selected for re-execution from a buffer upon a microprocessor re-entering a particular execution location after runahead are provided. In one example, a microprocessor is provided. The example microprocessor includes fetch logic, one or more execution mechanisms for executing a retrieved instruction provided by the fetch logic, and scheduler logic for scheduling the retrieved instruction for execution. The example scheduler logic includes a buffer for storing the retrieved instruction and one or more additional instructions, the scheduler logic being configured, upon the microprocessor re-entering at a particular execution location after runahead, to re-dispatch, from the buffer, an instruction that has been previously dispatched to one of the execution mechanisms. |
