Transfer buffer between a scalar pipeline and vector pipeline

A method comprising:

• transferring an operand from a scalar pipeline to a scalar-to-vector buffer responsive to the scalar pipeline executing a first micro-op, wherein the scalar-to-vector buffer includes an entry having a width equal to a width of a scalar register of the scalar pipeline and a data store configured to store an indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op;
• and
• updating the data store to include the indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op.

A method comprising:

• transferring an operand from a vector pipeline to a vector-to-scalar buffer responsive to the vector pipeline executing a first micro-op, wherein the vector-to-scalar buffer includes an entry having a width equal to a width of a scalar register of a scalar pipeline and a data store configured to store an indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op;
• and
• updating the data store to include the indication mapping the entry to the first micro-op.
