Abstract
A processor that performs integer-to-floating point transfers and vice versa using a store buffer in the processor to obviate the need for transferring data to memory and then back from memory. In this manner, these transfers may be performed to enable dedicated execution pipelines, such as integer execution pipelines and a floating point execution pipelines, to share data.
