Tomasulo Example

The document summarizes an example of the Tomasulo algorithm over 9 clock cycles. Key points: - The Tomasulo algorithm allows out-of-order execution of instructions by tracking dependencies in reservation stations. - Over the cycles, load and arithmetic instructions issue and complete execution. Completed instructions write their results back to registers or reservation stations waiting on those results. - By cycle 9, most instructions have completed execution, with their results written to registers or used by dependent instructions still in reservation stations. This allows subsequent instructions to issue and execute out of order while preserving dependencies.
