A.6 Dynamic Scheduling


The R10000 processor can issue instructions to functional units out of program order; this capability is known as dynamic scheduling or dynamic issuing.

The R10000 processor can dynamically issue an instruction as soon as all its operands are available and the required execution unit is not busy. Thus, an instruction is not delayed by a stalled previous instruction unless it needs the results of that previous instruction.
