Abstract
An instruction scheduler for a computer, capable of speculatively scheduling load instructions by moving certain categories of load instructions in an input instruction sequence from a source block of instructions to a target block of instructions to form an output instruction sequence, the instruction scheduler comprising: logic for selecting a data-independent load instruction as a candidate for rescheduling; logic for determining whether the base register that the load instruction makes use of and/or the contents thereof meets any one of a number of conditions; logic for moving the selected load instruction from the source block to the target block in response to determination that any one of the conditions is met.
