Abstract
Operation of a multi-slice processor that includes a plurality of execution slices and an instruction sequencing unit. Operation of such a multi-slice processor includes: receiving, at the instruction sequencing unit, a load instruction indicating load address data and a load data length; determining a previous store instruction in an issue queue such that store address data for the previous store instruction corresponds to the load address data, wherein the previous store instruction corresponds to a store data length; and generating, in dependence upon the store data length matching the load data length, an indication in the issue queue that indicates a dependency between the load instruction and the previous store instruction.
