Abstract
A system and method for load fusion fuses small load operations into fewer, larger load operations. The system detects that a pair of adjacent operations are consecutive load operations, where the adjacent micro-operations refers to micro-operations flowing through adjacent dispatch slots and the consecutive load micro-operations refers to both of the adjacent micro-operations being load micro-operations. The consecutive load operations are then reviewed to determine if the data sizes are the same and if the load operation addresses are consecutive. The two load operations are then fused together to form one load micro-operation with twice the data size and one load data micro-operation with no load component.
