Abstract
A method and apparatus for binding instructions to dispatch ports in a reservation station includes a counter mechanism and a port identifier. The counter mechanism maintains a count of instructions which are pending dispatch from at least one of the dispatch ports. The port identifier receives an instruction and identifies to which of the dispatch ports the instruction is to be bound, based on the count of instructions maintained by the counter mechanism.
