A method and system for reducing dispatch latency in a processor

摘要

A method and system for reducing the dispatch latency of instructions of a processor provides for reordering the instructions in a predetermined format before the instructions enter the cache. The method and system also stores information in the cache relating to the reordering of the instructions. The reordered instructions are then provided to the appropriate execution units based upon the predetermined format. With this system, a dispatch buffer is not required when sending the instructions to the cache. <IMAGE>
