Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing operations with a processor in a computer system. Load operations are performed by use of a dispatch pipeline and a memory execution pipeline. The dispatch pipeline dispatches the load operation for execution by the processor, while the memory execution pipeline controls the execution of the load operation to memory. The present invention reduces the latency involved in executing a load operation by coupling the execution of the two pipelines during execution of the load operation.
