摘要:
Methods and systems for improving a logic circuit are described. By using a voltage reducer for connecting a power-supply to a virtual ground, the voltage reducer reduces the voltage supplied by the power-supply to the virtual ground during one phase of the clock, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency of the logic circuit.

A superscalar processor having a content addressable memory structure that transmits a first and second output signal is presented. The superscalar processor performs out of order processing on an instruction set. From the first output signal, the dependencies between currently fetched instructions of the instruction set and previous in-flight instructions can be determined and used to generate a dependency matrix for all in-flight instructions. From the second output signal, the physical register addresses of the data required to execute an instruction, once the dependencies have been removed, may be determined.

A memory array includes a plurality of memory cells logically arranged in M rows and N columns, wherein N is the number of memory cells per word of digital information and M is the number of words within the array. A plurality of N data output lines are associated with each of the N columns of the array for selectively retrieving output data from a word located at a predetermined word address in the array. Each data output line is selectively shared by each of the M memory cells within its associated column. Each of the cell output lines of the M memory cells in each of the N columns are logically OR-ed together to provide the output data retrieved by each data output line associated with each of the N columns.
