Selecting fixed-point instructions to issue on load-store unit

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
• a unified payload coupled to at least one of the processors;
• a nonvolatile storage area coupled to at least one of the processors;
• a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
• identifying that a simple fixed point instruction is ready to issue from the unified payload, wherein the simple fixed point instruction is executable by both a fixed point execution unit and a load-store execution unit;
• determining that the unified payload does not include a load-store instruction that is eligible to issue to the load-store execution unit;
• and
• issuing the simple fixed point instruction to the load-store execution unit in response to identifying that the simple fixed point instruction is ready to issue and determining that the unified payload does not include a load-store instruction that is eligible to issue.

A computer program product stored in a computer readable medium, comprising instructions that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions that include:

• identifying that a simple fixed point instruction is ready to issue from the unified payload, wherein the simple fixed point instruction is executable by both a fixed point execution unit and a load-store execution unit;
• determining that the unified payload does not include a load-store instruction that is eligible to issue to the load-store execution unit;
• and
• issuing the simple fixed point instruction to the load-store execution unit in response to identifying that the simple fixed point instruction is ready to issue and determining that the unified payload does not include a load-store instruction that is eligible to issue.
