Abstract
The present invention provides system and method for a group priority issue schema for a cascaded pipeline. The system includes a cascaded delayed execution pipeline unit having a plurality of execution pipelines that execute instructions in a common issue group in a delayed manner relative to each other. The system further includes circuitry configured to receiving an issue group of instructions, reordering the issue group of instructions using instruction type priority, and executing the reordered issue group of instructions in the cascaded delayed execution pipeline unit. The method, among others, can be broadly summarized by the following steps: receiving an issue group of instructions, reordering the issue group of instructions using instruction type priority, and executing the reordered issue group of instructions in the cascaded delayed execution pipeline unit.
