20080222361 | PIPELINED TAG AND INFORMATION ARRAY ACCESS WITH SPECULATIVE RETRIEVAL OF TAG THAT CORRESPONDS TO INFORMATION ACCESS - A cache design is described in which corresponding accesses to tag and information arrays are phased in time, and in which tags are retrieved (typically speculatively) from a tag array without benefit of an effective address calculation subsequently used for a corresponding retrieval from an information array. In some exploitations, such a design may allow cycle times (and throughput) of a memory subsystem to more closely match demands of some processor and computation system architectures. In some cases, phased access can be described as pipelined tag and information array access, though strictly speaking, indexing into the information array need not depend on results of the tag array access. Our techniques seek to allow early (indeed speculative) retrieval from the tag array without delays that would otherwise be associated with calculation of an effective address eventually employed for a corresponding retrieval from the information array. Speculation can be resolved using the eventually calculated effective address or using separate functionality. In some embodiments, we use calculated effective addresses for way selection based on tags retrieved from the tag array. | 09-11-2008 |

20100306302 | TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING IF A LOGICAL SUM OF A FIRST OPERAND AND A SECOND OPERAND IS THE SAME AS A THIRD OPERAND - A system is used to determine if a sum of a first operand and a second operand is the same as a third operand wherein a comparison to the third operand is of variable length. This is particularly useful in a content addressable memory (CAM) where the likelihood of hit is commonly improved over a set associative cache and allows for the CAM to identify different things. For example, an entry can be one length to identify a page of a memory and another entry be a different length to identify a page of memory.

20130268732 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CACHE ACCESS - 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. | 10-10-2013 |
