Zusammenfassung:Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., computer readable storage media) to perform automatic compiler optimization to enable streaming-store generation for unaligned contiguous write access are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to mark a store instruction in source program code as a transformation candidate when the store instruction is associated with a group of memory accesses that are unaligned with respect to a size of a cache line in a cache. Disclosed apparatus are also to transform the store instruction that is marked as the transformation candidate to form transformed program code when a non-temporal property is satisfied, the transformed program code to replace the store instruction with (i) a write to a buffer in the cache and (ii) a streaming-store instruction that is to write contents of the buffer to memory.
