Abstract

A method includes allocating a first entry in a global completion table (GCT) on a processor, responsive to a first instruction group being dispatched, where the first entry corresponds to the first instruction group. A data value applicable to the first instruction group is identified. An offset value applicable to the first instruction group is calculated by subtracting, from the data value, a base value previously written to a second entry of the GCT for a second instruction group. The offset value is written in the first entry of the GCT in lieu of the data value.
