Abstract

Operation of a multi-slice processor that includes a plurality of execution slices, a plurality of load/store slices, and an instruction sequencing unit, where operation includes: receiving, at a load/store slice, a load instruction to be issued; determining, at the load/store slice, that the load instruction has not completed and is to be reissued; and responsive to determining that the load instruction is to be reissued, delaying a signal, from the load/store slice to the instruction sequencing unit, that allows the instruction sequencing unit to issue one or more instructions dependent upon the load instruction.
