Zusammenfassung:Embodiments related to managing lazy runahead operations at a microprocessor are disclosed. For example, an embodiment of a method for operating a microprocessor described herein includes identifying a primary condition that triggers an unresolved state of the microprocessor. The example method also includes identifying a forcing condition that compels resolution of the unresolved state. The example method also includes, in response to identification of the forcing condition, causing the microprocessor to enter a runahead mode.
