A method and system in an information processing system are disclosed for efficiently maintaining copies of values stored within a plurality of registers. The information processing system includes first circuitry, second circuitry, and a plurality of buffers. The first circuitry processes an execution state of a first type of instruction which always specifies a destination of at least one of a first type of register or a second type of register, and which outputs first information in response thereto. The first circuitry also processes an execution stage of a second type of instruction which always specifies a destination of only a third type of register, and outputs second information in response thereto. The plurality of buffers are coupled to the execution circuitry for storing the output first and second information, wherein at least one of the buffers is for storing the output first information independent of which of the first and second types of registers is specified by the first type of instruction. The second circuitry is coupled to the buffers for processing a completion stage of the first type of instruction, and writing the stored first information into at least one of the first or a second type of register in response thereto. The second circuitry also processes a completion stage of the second type of instruction, and writes the stored second information into only the third type of register in response thereto. |
