    摘要: An apparatus and method for speeding up access time of a large register file with wrap capability are provided. With the apparatus and method, the 2:1 multiplexers in conventional register file systems are eliminated from the circuit configuration and instead, additional primary multiplexers are provided for half of the addresses, e.g., the first four sub-arrays of the register file for which the wrap capability is needed. These additional primary multiplexers receive the read address and a shifted read word line signal. The other primary multiplexer receives the read address and an unshifted read word line signal. The outputs from the shifted and non-shifted primary multiplexers are provided to a set of secondary multiplexers which multiplex bits from the outputs of the shifted and non-shifted primary multiplexers to generate the read addresses to be used by the multiple read/write register file system.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for reading a plurality of consecutive entries and writing a plurality of consecutive entries with only one read address and one write address using a 2Read/2Write register file. In one exemplary embodiment, a 64 entry register file array is partitioned into four sub-arrays. Each sub-array contains sixteen entries having one or more 2Read/2Write SRAM cells. The apparatus and method provide a mechanism to write the consecutive entries by only having a 4 to 16 decode of one address. In addition, the apparatus and method provide a mechanism for reading data from the register file array using a starting read word address and two read word lines generated based on the starting read word address. The two read word lines are used to access the two read ports of the entries in the sub-arrays.
