Abstract:
Stores and/or loads are coalesced. In one example, a store request to store an architected register is obtained. A determination is made as to whether the store request is a potential start of a store sequence. Based on determining the store request is a potential start of a store sequence, a snapshot request to create a snapshot is initiated. The snapshot is to map architected registers with physical registers. Based on determining the store request is not a potential start of the store sequence, the store is performed.
