Loading Data to Vector Renamed Register From Across Multiple Cache Lines |
摘要 |
A load instruction that accesses data cache may be off natural alignment, which causes a cache line crossing to complete the access. The illustrative embodiments provide a mechanism for loading data across multiple cache lines without the need for an accumulation register or collection point for partial data access from a first cache line while waiting for a second cache line to be accessed. Because the accesses to separate cache lines are concatenated within the vector rename register without the need for an accumulator, an off-alignment load instruction is completely pipeline-able and flushable with no cleanup consequences. |
