Abstract
A statically scheduled processor compiler schedules a speculative load in the program before the data is needed. The compiler inserts a conditional instruction confirming or disaffirming the speculative load before the program behavior changes due to the speculative load. The condition is not based solely upon whether the speculative load address is correct but preferably includes dependence according to the original source code. The compiler may statically schedule two or more branches in parallel with orthogonal conditions.
