Abstract
An apparatus comprises first instruction execution circuitry, second instruction execution circuitry, and a decoupled access buffer. Instructions of an ordered sequence of instructions are issued to one of the first and second instruction execution circuitry for execution in dependence on whether the instruction has a first type label or a second type label. An instruction with the first type label is an access-related instruction which determines at least one characteristic of a load operation to retrieve a data value from a memory address. Instruction execution by the first instruction execution circuitry of instructions having the first type label is prioritised over instruction execution by the second instruction execution circuitry of instructions having the second type label. Data values retrieved from memory as a result of execution of the first type instructions are stored in the decoupled access buffer.
