发明名称 NON-COMMITTING STORE INSTRUCTIONS
摘要 Techniques relating to a processor that supports a non-committing store instruction that is executable during a scouting thread to provide data to a subsequently executed load instruction. The processor may include a memory access unit configured to perform an instance of the non-committing store instruction by storing a value in an entry of a store buffer without committing the instance of the non-committing store instruction. In response to subsequently receiving an instance of a load instruction of the scouting thread that specifies a load from the memory address, the memory access unit is configured to perform the instance of the load instruction by retrieving the value. The memory access unit may retrieve the value from the store buffer or from a cache of the processor.
