For maximum performance, an out-of-order processor must issue load instructions as early as possible, while avoiding memory-order violations with prior store instructions that wri...
Many modern embedded processors (esp. DSPs) support partitioned memory banks (also called X-Y memory or dual bank memory) along with parallel load/store instructions to achieve co...

Load latency remains a significant bottleneck in dynamically scheduled pipelined processors. Load speculation techniques have been proposed to reduce this latency. Dependence Pred...
Memory latency tolerant architectures support thousands of in-flight instructions without scaling cyclecritical processor resources, and thousands of useful instructions can compl...
