    摘要: The rows of a cache are generally maintained in a low power state. In response to a memory access operation, the data processor predicts a plurality of cache rows that may be targeted by the operation, and transitions each of the plurality of cache rows to an active state to prepare them for access. The plurality of cache rows are predicted based on speculatively decoding a portion of a base address and a corresponding portion of an offset without performing a full addition of the portions. Because a full addition is not performed, the speculative decoding can be performed at sufficient speed to allow the set of rows to be transitioned to the active state before full decoding of the memory address is completed. The cache row associated with the memory address is therefore ready for access when decoding is complete, maintaining low latency for cache accesses.

    摘要: An array of memory bit cells are operable to provide a memory device having data shifting capability, so that data can be flexibly stored and retrieved from the memory device in both parallel and serial fashions. The memory array can thus be used for conventional memory storage operations, and also for operations, such as matrix operations, that provide for the alteration of the arrangement of stored data elements.

    摘要: A method and data processing system for accessing an entry in a memory array by placing a tag memory unit (114) in parallel with an operand adder circuit (112) to enable tag lookup and generation of speculative way hit/miss information (126) directly from the operands (111, 113) without using the output sum of the operand adder. PGZ-encoded address bits (0:51) from the operands (111, 113) are applied with a carry-out value (Cout48) to a content-addressable memory array (114) to generate two speculative hit/miss signals. A sum value (EA51) computed from the least significant base and offset address bits determines which of the speculative hit/miss signals is selected for output (126).
