Store Instruction Timing
Cache and Store instructions similar to Load instructions will have a result for the pre-
increment, post-increment, circular or bit-reverse addressing modes, but do not produce
a ‘memory’ result.
•
Each instruction is single issued.
•
The memory references is naturally aligned.
•
The memory accessed takes a single cycle to accept a data item.
•
Timing is best case; no cache misses, no pending stores.

1) Repeat rate assumes that no memory writeback operation occurs. Otherwise the repeat rate will depend upon
the time for the castout buffers to clear.
