Abstract
A queue management capability enables allocation and management of tracking queue entries, such as load and/or store queue entries, at execution time. By introducing execution-time allocation of load/store queue entries, the allocation point of those entries is delayed further into the execution stage of the instruction pipeline, reducing the overall time the entry remains allocated to a specific instruction. The queue management capability may also resolve deadlock conditions resulting from execution-time allocation of the queue entries and/or provide a mechanism to avoid such deadlock conditions.
