Abstract
There is provided a data processing apparatus that includes processing circuitry for executing a plurality of instructions. Storage circuitry stores a plurality of entries, each entry relating to an instruction in the plurality of instructions and including a dependency field. The dependency field stores a data dependency of that instruction on a previous instruction in the plurality of instructions. Scheduling circuitry schedules the execution of the plurality of instructions in an order that depends on each data dependency. When the previous instruction is a single-cycle instruction, the dependency field includes a reference to one of the entries that relates to the previous instruction, otherwise, the data dependency field includes an indication of an output destination of the previous instruction.
