Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for executing a predicted load that bypasses memory access for a load instruction. A first physical register that is predicted as storing a value to be loaded by the load instruction is identified and the value stored in the first physical register is copied to a second physical register for use by a consumer operation.
