Abstract
A processing device implementing store address prediction for memory disambiguation in a processing device is disclosed. A processing device of the disclosure includes a store address predictor to predict an address for store operations that store data to a memory hierarchy. The processing device further includes a store buffer for buffering the store operations prior to completion, the store buffer to comprise the predicted address for each of the store operations. The processing device further includes a load buffer to buffer a load operation, the load operation to reference the store buffer to, based on the predicted addresses, determine whether to speculatively execute ahead of each store operation and to determine whether to speculatively forward data from one of the store operations.
