    摘要: The cache memory in the present invention includes a prediction unit 39 which predicts, based on the progress of the memory access outputted from the memory, a line address which should be prefetched next. The prediction unit 39 includes: a prefetch unit 414 which prefetches data of the predicted line data, from the memory to the cache memory; and a touch unit 415 which sets the predicted line address to the cache entry, as a tag, and validates the valid flag, without loading data from the memory into the cache memory

    摘要: In a system that provides CAD layout-design information, by having the user acquire information such as circuit design or CAD layout data registered in a database, the user can analyze the acquired information, so there is a possibility that circuit-design or circuit-board-design know-how could be leaked. With this invention, a characteristic-parameter-extraction means extracts characteristic parameters from a position where there is a possibility of the occurrence of poor electrical characteristics due to an influence of the CAD layout of the input CAD layout data. A correction-determination means determines whether or not it is necessary to correct the layout by comparing the characteristic parameters and correction-determination standards that correspond to poor electrical characteristics read from a database. This makes it possible to check the electrical characteristics of the CAD layout without making available to the user the correction-determination standards or determination method.

    摘要: A microprocessor comprises a calculation unit that (i) includes partial calculation units each operable to perform partial data calculation, and (ii) is operable to perform data calculation on N or less bits, where N is a total number of bits on which the partial calculation units are to perform data calculation. The microprocessor, when having the calculation unit perform data calculation according to an instruction fetched from a memory, controls the partial calculation units depending on a bit width mode selected in terms of a number of bits on which data calculation is to be performed, so as to either (i) have all the partial calculation units operate, or (ii) suspend operation of a predetermined number of the partial calculation units, and have the rest of the partial calculation units operate.

    摘要: The counter 52 is set with an initial value of “1” and is a counter with a maximum value of “4”. This counter 52 increments the count value held by the flip-flop 51 in synchronization with a clock signal so that the count value changes as shown by the progression 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4. This clock signal is also used by the instruction decode control unit 11 to control the execution of instructions, with the counting by the counter 52 being performed once for each instruction execution performed by the instruction decode control unit 11. The comparator 54 compares the count value counted by the counter 52 with the maximum value “4”, and when the values match, sets the task switching signal chg_task_ex at a “High” value, so that the processing switches to the execution of the next task.

    摘要: A first bit string extracting unit extracts a first bit string. A first bit length judging unit detects a first codeword from the first bit string. A first decoding unit generates a first run-level pair from the first codeword. A second bit string extracting unit extracts a second bit string. A second bit length judging unit detects a second codeword from the second bit string. A second decoding unit generates a second run-level pair from the second codeword. A first inverse quantizing unit inverse quantizes the first level to obtain a DCT coefficient. A second inverse quantizing unit inverse quantizes the second level to obtain a DCT coefficient. A second buffer controller writes the DCT coefficients and their first buffer addresses into a second buffer. A first buffer controller reads the DCT coefficients and the first buffer addresses from the second buffer and writes the DCT coefficients into a first buffer at the respective first buffer addresses.

    摘要: In cases where a remarked unit of tag addresses set in effective or access state is not registered in a tag section when a reading request is input, an external access is performed, and the remarked unit of tag addresses and other units of tag addresses respectively set in the access state are prepared in a tag entry preparing unit. In cases where a writing request is input to write a piece of updated word data in a remarked unit of data addresses corresponding to the remarked unit of tag addresses before the external access is finished, the state of the remarked tag entry prepared is changed to the effective state, and the updated word data is written in the remarked unit of data addresses of a data storing unit. Because the remarked unit of tag addresses is set in the effective state, the updated word data written in the remarked unit of data addresses is not replaced with a piece of external word data obtained according to the external access when the external access is finished. In cases where any writing request is not input until the external access is finished, the external word data is written in the remarked unit of data addresses, and the state of the remarked unit of tag addresses is changed to the effective state to replace the external word data with a piece of updated word data relating to a following writing request. Therefore, the writing and reading requests can be performed without delaying the writing request.

    摘要: A central processing unit includes an instruction decoder (1), an operand address computation unit (2), an operand pre-fetch unit (3), a control information buffer (5), an arithmetic unit (4), an instruction fetch unit (6), a chip bus (7), and a bus controller (8). A process relating to the fetch of a memory operand is independent from main pipeline process having an instruction fetching stage, an instruction decoding stage, and an instruction execution stage. As a result, control information (13) in an instruction that the fetch of the memory operand is not required does not pass through the pipeline stage relating to the fetch of the memory operand thereby improving bus band width for memory operand accesses.
