Abstract: A method for writing data to memory that provides for generation of a predicate to disable a portion of the elements so that only the enabled elements are written to memory. Such a method may be employed to write multi-dimensional data to memory and/or may be used with a streaming address generator.

Abstract: A digital signal processor having a CPU with a program counter register and, optionally, an event context stack pointer register for saving and restoring the event handler context when higher priority event preempts a lower priority event handler. The CPU is configured to use a minimized set of addressing modes that includes using the event context stack pointer register and program counter register to compute an address for storing data in memory. The CPU may also eliminate post-decrement, pre-increment and post-decrement addressing and rely only on post-increment addressing.

Abstract: Techniques for maintaining cache coherency comprising storing data blocks associated with a main process in a cache line of a main cache memory, storing a first local copy of the data blocks in a first local cache memory of a first processor, storing a second local copy of the set of data blocks in a second local cache memory of a second processor executing a first child process of the main process to generate first output data, writing the first output data to the first data block of the first local copy as a write through, writing the first output data to the first data block of the main cache memory as a part of the write through, transmitting an invalidate request to the second local cache memory, marking the second local copy of the set of data blocks as delayed, and transmitting an acknowledgment to the invalidate request.

Abstract: An apparatus includes first CPU and second CPU cores, a L1 cache subsystem coupled to the first CPU core and comprising a L1 controller, and a L2 cache subsystem coupled to the L1 cache subsystem and to the second CPU core. The L2 cache subsystem includes a L2 memory and a L2 controller configured to operate in an aliased mode in response to a value in a memory map control register being asserted. In the aliased mode, the L2 controller receives a first request from the first CPU core directed to a virtual address in the L2 memory, receives a second request from the second CPU core directed to the virtual address in the L2 memory, directs the first request to a physical address A in the L2 memory, and directs the second request to a physical address B in the L2 memory.

Abstract: A caching system including a first sub-cache, a second sub-cache, coupled in parallel with the first sub-cache, for storing cache data evicted from the first sub-cache and write-memory commands that are not cached in the first sub-cache, and a cache controller configured to receive two or more cache commands, determine a conflict exists between the received two or more cache commands, determine a conflict resolution between the received two or more cache commands, and sending the two or more cache commands to the first sub-cache and the second sub-cache.
