Concurrent store and load operations
Abstract:
Systems, processors, and methods for efficiently handling concurrent store and load operations within a processor. A processor comprises a load-store unit (LSU) with a banked level-one (L1) data cache. When a store operation is ready to write data to the L1 data cache, the store operation will skip the write to any banks that have a conflict with a concurrent load operation. A partial write of the store operation will be performed to those banks of the L1 data cache that do not have a conflict with a concurrent load operation. For every attempt to write the store operation, a corresponding store mask will be updated to indicate which portions of the store operation were successfully written to the L1 data cache.
