Abstract
A data processing apparatus is provided. Rename circuitry performs a register rename stage of a pipeline by storing, in storage circuitry, mappings between registers. Each of the mappings is associated with an elimination field value. Operation elimination circuitry replaces an operation that indicates an action is to be performed on data from a source register and stored in a destination register, with a new mapping in the storage circuitry that references the destination register and has the elimination field value set. Operation circuitry responds to a subsequent operation that accesses the destination register when the elimination field value is set; by obtaining contents of the source register, performing the action on the contents to obtain a result, and returning the result.
