Abstract
Described herein is a system and method for store fusion that fuses small store operations into fewer, larger store operations. The system detects that a pair of adjacent operations are consecutive store operations, where the adjacent micro-operations refers to micro-operations flowing through adjacent dispatch slots and the consecutive store micro-operations refers to both of the adjacent micro-operations being store micro-operations. The consecutive store operations are then reviewed to determine if the data sizes are the same and if the store operation addresses are consecutive. The two store operations are then fused together to form one store operation with twice the data size and one store data HI operation.
