Data value dependent latencies
From CompArch
- TBD - topics to be written
Real World Example: MIPS MUL
From MIPS manual for MUL instruction: "Where the size of the operands are known, software should place the shorter operand in GPR rt. This may reduce the latency of the instruction on those processors which implement data-dependent instruction latencies"
