A processor may include a stack file and an execution core. The stack file
may include an entry configured to store an addressing pattern and a tag.
The addressing pattern identifies a memory location within the stack area
of memory. The stack file may be configured to link a data value
identified by the tag stored in the entry to the speculative result of a
memory operation if the addressing pattern of the memory operation
matches the addressing pattern stored in the entry. The execution core
may be configured to access the speculative result when executing another
operation that is dependent on the memory operation.
