Previous: IDEA:
- When an FU finishes an instruction, it broadcasts (on the common data bus) the
result, together with a tag, its FU number.
- All the reservation stations monitor the common data bus. Watching out for
the results whose tags match the operand tags.
- A reservation station activates its FU as soon as
- the FU has finished it previous instruction
- both operands have arrived.
