Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for optimizing store of common values to memory structures. In an aspect, a method for instruction decoding may include obtaining a store instruction that involves two or more registers. The method may include determining that at least one register of the two or more registers comprises an all-zeros value. The method may also include decoding the store instruction into a store-zeros micro-operation based at least in part on the determining. In some examples of the method, zeros-indicating metadata may be used to indicate that an all-zeros value has been stored in a memory structure.
