Tracking of Data Readiness for Load and Store Operations - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18328839 titled 'Tracking of Data Readiness for Load and Store Operations
The patent application describes a method for tracking data readiness for load and store operations.
- Establish a Load Transfer Buffer (LTB) entry.
- Initialize a write counter to track the number or progress of write data expected to update the LTB entry.
- Track the number or progress of the write data expected to update the LTB entry.
- Set the number of write data expected to update the LTB entry in the write counter.
- Maintain a current value corresponding to the number of write data left to update the LTB entry until the next respective write data arrives.
- Adjust the write counter after receiving the next respective write data to reflect the number of write data left to update the LTB entry.
Potential Applications: - Data processing systems - Memory management systems - Computer architecture design

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for tracking of data readiness for load and store operations is disclosed. The method includes establishing a Load Transfer Buffer (LTB) entry, initializing a write counter configured to track a number or progress of write data that are expected to update the LTB entry, and tracking the number or progress of the write data that are expected to update the LTB entry. The tracking can include setting, in the write counter, the number of the write data that are expected to update the LTB entry, maintaining, until a next respective write data arrives to the LTB entry a current value corresponding to a respective number of write data left to update the LTB entry, and after receiving the next respective write data, adjusting the write counter to reflect a respective number of write data left to update the LTB entry.
