I would appreciate if anyone could verify the following statements about IA-64.

assume the following code
t1 = LOAD a0
t2 = ADD t1,1
t3 = LOAD a1
t4 = ADD t3,1

an out-of-order processor will delay the ADD that is dependent on the load, but it will continue fetching and executing instructions that are not dependent on the LOAD.

The in-order machine (IA-64) will stall all the ADD instructions and will not execute any further instructions until the load completes, resulting in a x-cycle stall, where x depends whether there is a cache hit or miss.
