PROCESSOR, METHOD, AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM EMPLOYING A VARIABLE STORE GATHER WINDOW |
摘要 |
A processor includes at least one instruction execution unit that executes store instructions to obtain store operations and a store queue coupled to the instruction execution unit. The store queue includes a queue entry in which the store queue gathers multiple store operations during a store gathering window to obtain a data portion of a write transaction directed to lower level memory. In addition, the store queue includes dispatch logic that varies a size of the store gathering window to optimize store performance for different store behaviors and workloads.
