• Anti dependence

  • At the instruction level, this is WAR hazard if instruction j finishes first

• Output dependence

  • At the instruction level, this is a WAW hazard if instruction j finishes first

• In both cases, not really a dependence but a “naming” problem

  • Register renaming (compiler by register allocation, in hardware see later)
