Abstract
Memory access management techniques are described. More particularly, at least one embodiment of the invention relates to a technique to issue loads to a memory ahead of older store operations corresponding to the same target address. In an embodiment, a load operation may be predicted to not conflict with older pending store operations if a saturation counter corresponding to the load operation is below a threshold value and a maximum rate of mispredictions has not occurred. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
