Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and apparatus method for efficient utilization of write-combining buffers for a sequence of non-temporal stores to scattered locations. The method comprises: converting the sequence of non-temporal stores to stores to intermediate buffers; and grouping the stores to intermediate buffers into consecutive non-temporal stores. The consecutive non-temporal stores correspond to adjacent memory locations in the write-combining buffers.
