Abstract
An apparatus for data processing and a method of data processing are provided. Data processing operations are performed in response to instructions which reference architectural registers using physical registers to store data values when performing the data processing operations. Mappings between the architectural registers and the physical registers are stored, and when a data hazard condition is identified with respect to out-of-order program execution of an instruction, an architectural register specified in the instruction is remapped to an available physical register. A reorder buffer stores an entry for each destination architectural register specified by the instruction, entries being stored in program order, and an entry specifies a destination architectural register and an original physical register to which the destination architectural register was mapped before the architectural register remapped to an available physical register.
