Abstract: A digital data processor includes an instruction memory storing instructions specifying a data processing operation and a data operand field, an instruction decoder coupled to the instruction memory for recalling instructions from the instruction memory and determining the operation and the data operand, and an operational unit coupled to a data register file and to an instruction decoder to perform a data processing operation upon an operand corresponding to an instruction decoded by the instruction decoder and storing results of the data processing operation. The operational unit is configured to perform a table write in response to a look up table initialization instruction by duplicating at least one data element from a source data register to create duplicated data elements, and writing the duplicated data elements to a specified location in a specified number of at least one table and a corresponding location in at least one other table.

Abstract: An apparatus including a CPU core and a L1 cache subsystem coupled to the CPU core. The L1 cache subsystem includes a L1 main cache, a L1 victim cache, and a L1 controller. The apparatus includes a L2 cache subsystem coupled to the L1 cache subsystem. The L2 cache subsystem includes a L2 main cache, a shadow L1 main cache, a shadow L1 victim cache, and a L2 controller. The L2 controller receives an indication from the L1 controller that a cache line A is being relocated from the L1 main cache to the L1 victim cache; in response to the indication, update the shadow L1 main cache to reflect that the cache line A is no longer located in the L1 main cache; and in response to the indication, update the shadow L1 victim cache to reflect that the cache line A is located in the L1 victim cache.
