Original Abstract Submitted

A method for performing segmented vector store operations is disclosed. The method includes decoding one or more segmented vector store micro-operations (uops) of segmented vector store instruction in a pipeline, allocating, based on each of the one or more segmented vector store uops, one or more respective store buffer entries in First-in, First-out (FIFO) order, stalling the pipeline until store buffer entries are allocated by all of segmented vector store uops of the segmented vector store instruction, and writing, based on each of the one or more segmented vector store uops, manipulated vector data into multiple store buffer entries.
