Abstract
A data dependence prediction technique is used to establish linkage between two instructions using data so that accessing the data from memory may be bypassed. Instead, the data retrieved in the first data using instruction is temporarily stored in a local register to be used by the second data using instruction. Parallel processing techniques of squashing are used in the event that the prediction is erroneous.
