Abstract
In 1987 we were working at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Jim Smith, J. T. Hsieh, Koujuch Liou and Andrew Pleszkun on PIPE [4], an unorthodox 'decoupled access-execute processor.' The driving innovation of PIPE was the separation of instructions dealing with memory through a separate and independent instruction stream racing ahead, initiating load and store instructions in-order, synchronized only with other instructions through architectural queues. The queues eliminated the need for allocating and managing temporary registers.
