摘要： Different processor elements in multi-task/multi-core system on chip may have different memory requirements at runtime. The method for adaptively allocating cache memory re-allocates the cache resource by updating the bank assignment table. According to the associativity-based partitioning scheme, centralized memory is separated into several groups of SRAM banks which are numbered differently. These groups are assigned to different processor elements to be L2 caches. The bank assignment information is recoded in bank assignment table, and is updated by system profiling engine. By changing the information in bank assignment table, the cache resource re-allocation for processor elements is achieved.

摘要： The present invention discloses a butterfly match-line structure and a search method implemented thereby, wherein the parallelism of the match lines is increased to shorten the search time, and a butterfly-type connection is used to reduce the power consumption and achieve the best energy efficiency. Via the butterfly-type connection, information can be reciprocally transmitted between the parallel match lines, which are independent originally. When a miss case occurs, more succeeding memory cells will not be compared but will be turned off. Thereby, the power consumption is reduced. Further, XOR-based conditional keepers are used to reduce the matching time and the power consumption. Besides, such a circuit is also used to shorten the delay time of the butterfly-type connection.

摘要： In the proposed stored don't-care hierarchical search-line scheme, a content-addressable memory (CAM) is divided into several blocks. Each block contains a plurality of local search-lines, a global search-line, a buffer and a memory memory cell. Data are stored in the blocks in order according to the length of the prefix. Data with the longest prefix is stored at the bottommost, and its don't-care state is used as the control signal of the buffer to control whether to transfer the data on the global search-line to the local search-line or not. The local search-line then transfer the value into the memory cell. There is no complex control circuit and extra storage device needed. Moreover, because the control signal directly comes from the don't-care state, power consumption on search-lines can be effectively reduced with no increase of search delay.

摘要： On-chip active decoupling capacitors for regulating the voltage of an integrated circuit include a reference voltage generator, a latch-based comparator and switched DECAPs. The latched-based comparator is for comparing a reference voltage generated by the reference voltage generator and a supply voltage of the integrated circuit and outputting a comparison result. The switched DECAPs includes at least two capacitors and a plurality of switches, and coupling the at least two capacitors into a parallel configuration to sink current or a series configuration to source current based on the comparison result output by the latch-based comparator. The aforementioned on-chip active decoupling capacitors not only have lower power consumption, but also larger detection range.
