Abstract

A processor is described. The processor includes a decoder to decode instructions and a circuit, in response to a decoded instruction, to detect an incoming load instruction that misses a cache, allocate a buffer to service the incoming load instruction, and issue a bus request to load the data in the buffer without accessing said cache.
