Abstract
A register window fill technique for a retirement window having an entry size less than a number of fill instructions used in a fill condition is provided. The technique uses modified fill instructions that allow the retirement window to retire a portion of the fill instructions without having to determine whether a remaining portion of the fill instructions will execute without exceptions.
