Load–store unit (computing)
In computer engineering a load–store unit is a specialized hardware element that loads data from memory or stores it back to memory from registers.[1]
The load–store unit usually includes a queue which acts as a waiting area for memory instructions, and the unit itself operates independently of other processor units.[1]
Load–store units may also be used in vector processing, and in such cases the term "load–store vector" may be used.[2]
