    摘要: An error correction system in an agent provides an error correction in a circuit path extending from an internal cache to an output of the agent. When data errors are detected for data to be processed internally within the agent, the error correction system passes the corrupted data through the error correction circuit, and out of the agent and back into the agent. The error correction changes internal data requests into an external transaction when data errors are detected.

    摘要: A scheduler stores data to be scheduled. The scheduler may include an array that identifies relative priorities among the queue entries according to a first priority scheme, such as by age. The scheduler also may include a priority register array identifying relative priorities among the queue entries according to a second priority scheme, such as by data type. A plurality of detectors coupled to the array and to the priority register array may determine which data is to be scheduled next.

    摘要: A prefetching control system provided for a processor. The prefetching queue may include an arbiter, a cache queue and a prefetch queue. The arbiter issues requests including read requests. Responsive to a read request, the cache queue issues a control signal. The prefetch queue receives the control signal and an address associated with the read request. When the received address is a member of a pattern of read requests from sequential memory locations, the prefetch queue issues a prefetch request to the arbiter.

    摘要: A data control method in a microprocessor is disclosed. According to the method, a request is generated on an external bus for data to be read to the processor. The requested data is read from the external bus to an intermediate memory in the processor and, thereafter, read from the intermediate memory to a destination. When the intermediate memory is full, the read of data from the external bus is stalled until the intermediate memory is no longer full. Typically, stalling is accomplished by generating a stall signal on the external bus, which may be generated during a cache coherency phase of the transaction to which the requested data relates.

    摘要: A transaction management system is described for scheduling requests on an external bus. The system includes a number of queue registers to store requests and a controller coupled to queue registers to schedule external bus transactions for an agent that processes read requests, prefetch requests and write requests. The controller posts at least one write request to an external bus every defined number of transactions if at least one non-posted write request is stored in the queue registers.
