Detailed Description

Memory dependency unit class.

This holds the memory dependence predictor. As memory operations are issued to the IQ, they are also issued to this unit, which then looks up the prediction as to what they are dependent upon. This unit must be checked prior to a memory operation being able to issue. Although this is templated, it's somewhat hard to make a generic memory dependence unit. This one is mostly for store sets; it will be quite limited in what other memory dependence predictions it can also utilize. Thus this class should be most likely be rewritten for other dependence prediction schemes.
