20120304024 | DATA PROCESSING METHOD, DATA PROCESSOR AND APPARATUS INCLUDING A DATA PROCESSOR - A method of processing data in a data processor comprising at least two data processing units. The method comprises performing different data processing steps in the data processing units concurrently during a parallel operation, and replicating performances of selected identical data processing steps in the data processing units during a non-synchronised redundant operation. The non-synchronised redundant operation comprises an initial performance of the selected identical data processing steps in one of the data processing units and a replicate performance of the data processing steps starting later than the initial performance, preferably in another of the data processing units. Initial result data representative of results from the initial performance are registered, and compared with replicate result data representative of results from the replicate performance, and an error signal is produced in case of discrepancy. | 11-29-2012 |

Due to the virtual mirrors data on a respective address in any of the respective different buffer mirror address ranges is the data of the buffer memory at a corresponding address in the buffer address range. The device enables processing of a subsequent set of data in the buffer memory via the cache memory without invalidating the cache by switching to a different buffer mirror. | 04-28-2016 |
