Execution Units
The AMD-K6-2 processor contains ten parallel execution
units—store, load, integer X ALU, integer Y ALU, MMX ALU
(X), MMX ALU (Y), MMX/3DNow! multiplier, 3DNow! ALU,
floating-point, and branch condition. Each unit is independent
and capable of handling the RISC86 operations. Table 1 on
page 16 details the execution units, functions performed within
these units, operation latency, and operation throughput.
The store and load execution units are two-stage pipelined
designs. The store unit performs data writes and register
calculation for LEA/PUSH. Data memory and register writes
from stores are available after one clock. Store operations are
held in a store queue prior to execution. From there, they
execute in order. The load unit performs data memory reads.
Data is available from the load unit after two clocks.
