Abstract
A data processing apparatus executes a stream of instructions. Memory access circuitry accesses a memory in response to control signals associated with a memory access instruction that is executed in the stream of instructions. Branch prediction circuitry predicts the outcome of branch instructions in the stream of instructions based on a branch prediction table. Processing circuitry performs a determination of whether out-of-order execution of memory access instructions is to be performed based on memory prediction data, and selectively enables out-of-order execution of the memory access instructions in dependence on the determination. The memory prediction data is stored in the branch prediction table.
