    摘要: A compressed instruction format for a VLIW processor allows greater efficiency in use of cache and memory. Instructions are byte aligned and variable length. Branch targets are uncompressed. Format bits specify how many issue slots are used in a following instruction. NOPS are not stored in memory. Individual operations are compressed according to features such as whether they are resultless, guarded, short, zeroary, unary, or binary. Instructions are stored in compressed form in memory and in cache. Instructions are decompressed on the fly after being read out from cache.

    摘要: Cache layout is simplified by swizzling the bits of instruction words. Then the words are read out of cache by using a shuffled bit stream which simplifies cache layout. The object is further met using a cache structure which includes a device for storing a shuffled instruction stream; and a device for multiplexing bits from the storage means onto the bus so that the bits are deshuffled. The multiplexing means includes a multiplicity of lines leading from the storage device to the bus. The read lines do not cross each other.

    摘要: The software which produces a shuffled bit stream which bit stream allows for a simplified cache layout. This object is met using computer software which includes code for receiving a compiled and linked object module produced by a compiler and/or linker and code for swizzling the compiled and linked software to produce a second object module. The second object module is suitable for being deswizzled upon reading from a cache memory using a cache structure whose output bus wires are not crossed.

    摘要: A computer system, a cache memory and a process, supporting prefetch operations and cache access operations so as to store information duplicated from a high level memory for use by a processing device, the processing device issuing addresses, including prefetch addresses and cache access addresses. The cache memory comprises memory resources, and prefetch resources are coupled to the memory resources and to the processing device both for receipt and storage of prefetch addresses from the processing device and for injection management of the received prefetch addresses so as to coordinate prefetch operations with cache access operations. As for the process, the invention comprises the steps of receiving prefetch addresses issued by a processing device; providing for storing, in a prefetch memory, prefetch addresses; and providing for injecting prefetch addresses in a selected order from the prefetch memory for use in fetching, into the cache memory, information associated with the prefetch addresses.
