Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking instructions in a processor. A completion unit in the processor receives an instruction group to add to a table to form a received instruction group. In response to receiving the received instruction group, the completion unit determines whether an entry is present that contains a previously stored instruction group in a first location and has space for storing the received instruction group. In response to the entry being present, the completion unit stores the received instruction group in a second location in the entry to form a stored instruction group.
