Abstract
A processor includes a front end including circuitry to decode instructions from an instruction stream, a data cache unit including circuitry to cache data for the processor, and a binary translator. The binary translator includes circuitry to identify a redundant store in the instruction stream, mark the start and end of a region of the instruction stream with the redundant store, remove the redundant store, and store an amended instruction stream with the redundant store removed.
