This document describes an out-of-order processor implementation that uses a reorder buffer (ROB) to handle instruction reordering. It shows the branch prediction and instruction fetch stages feeding instructions into the ROB, where they are decoded, renamed, and issued to functional units in the issue queue before writing results back to the ROB and register file.
