1.5 Program Order and Dependencies

Resolving Operand Dependencies

---

Operands include registers, memory, and condition bits. Each operand type has its own dependency logic. In the R10000 processor, dependencies are resolved in the following manner:

• register dependencies are resolved by using register renaming and the associative comparator circuitry in the queues
• memory dependencies are resolved in the Load/Store Unit
• condition bit dependencies are resolved in the active list and instruction queues
