A data processing apparatus and method of operating such is disclosed. Issue circuitry buffers operations prior to execution until operands are available in a set of registers. A first and a second load operation are identified in the issue circuitry, when both are dependent on a common operand, and when the common operand is available in the set of registers. Load circuitry has a first address generation unit to generate a first address for the first load operation and a second address generation unit to generate a second address for the second load operation. An address comparison unit compares the first address and the second address. The load circuitry is arranged to cause a merged lookup to be performed in local temporary storage, when the address comparison unit determines that the first and the second address differ by less than a predetermined address range characteristic of the local temporary storage.

Techniques for preventing concurrent execution of declarative infrastructure provisioners

Techniques for preventing concurrent execution of an infrastructure orchestration service are described. Worker nodes can receive instructions, or tasks, for deploying infrastructure resources and can provide heartbeat notifications to scheduler nodes, also considered a lease. A signing proxy can track the heartbeat notifications sent from the worker nodes to the scheduler node. The signing proxy can receive requests corresponding to a performance of the tasks assigned to the worker nodes. The signing proxy can determine whether the lease between each worker node and the scheduler is valid. If the lease is valid, the signing proxy may make a call to services on behalf of the worker node, and if the lease is not valid, the signing proxy may not make a call to services on behalf of the worker node. Instead, the signing proxy may cut off all outgoing network traffic, blocking access of the worker node to services.
