Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for prioritizing entries of a processor resource which is accessed to facilitate the fetching of an instruction for execution. In an embodiment, a first entry of the resource includes, or otherwise corresponds to, a version of the instruction. The first entry is prioritized based on an event wherein the instruction is retired from execution after a front end stall which is due to the instruction. While the first entry is prioritized, the entry is protected from a selection to be evicted from the resource. In another embodiment, second entries of a cache are variously prioritized, based on respective retirement events, to be available for instruction prefetching.
