Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing load operations in a computer system. The present invention includes a method and apparatus for dispatching the load operation to be executed. The present invention halts the execution of the load operation when a dependency exists between the load operation and another memory operation currently pending in the system. When the dependency no longer exists, the present invention redispatches the load operation so that it completes.
