Abstract
The present invention provides a buffer management scheme for load operations that permits load operations to be stored for execution to memory. The buffer management scheme of the present invention maintains pointers identifies entries in the memory containing the oldest load operation and the next available location in the memory for a new load operation. By providing such management, the present invention allows memory operations and their execution by a device, such as a processor, to be coordinated with the operation of the system and other operations in the processor.
