20090006816 | Inter-Cluster Communication Network And Heirarchical Register Files For Clustered VLIW Processors - A VLIW processor has a hierarchy of functional unit clusters that communicate through explicit control in the instruction stream and store data in register files at each level of the hierarchy. Explicit instructions transfer values between sub-clusters through a cluster level switch network. Transfer instructions issue in dedicated instruction issue slots in parallel with instructions that perform computation in functional units. The switch network can perform permutations on the data being moved. The switch network enables for operands to be broadcast between the sub-clusters, global register file and memory. | 01-01-2009 |
20120072702 | PREFETCHER WITH ARBITRARY DOWNSTREAM PREFETCH CANCELATION - A prefetch cancelation arbiter improves access to a shared memory resource by arbitrarily canceling speculative prefetches. The prefetch cancelation arbiter applies a set of arbitrary policies to speculative prefetches to select one or more of the received speculative prefetches to cancel. The selected speculative prefetches are canceled and a cancelation notification of each canceled speculative prefetch is sent to a higher-level memory component such as a prefetch unit or a local memory arbiter that is local to the processor associated with the canceled speculative prefetch. The set of arbitrary policies is used to reduce memory accesses to the shared memory resource. | 03-22-2012 |
20120072796 | MEMORY CONTROLLER WITH AUTOMATIC ERROR DETECTION AND CORRECTION - A memory validation manager reserves a block of time for exclusive accesses to a memory bank having lines of memory for which validation codes provide a degree of error detection and correction for each memory line. The memory validation manager reads, processes, and corrects at least some of the contents of each memory line based on indications of validity encountered for each memory line. New data is written in response to a validation code. Likewise, a valid field for each line can be updated and a new validation code written for a memory when the valid field indicates that a validation code has not yet been written for a memory line. The memory validation manager processes data read from a first memory line while either reading or writing to another memory line to minimize the latency of the process of scrubbing memory lines. | 03-22-2012 |

A set of mapping registers allow flexible mapping of each Privilege Identifier to the appropriate access permission. The segment registers translate the logical address from the requestor to a physical address within a larger address space. | 07-26-2012 |
20120191933 | Device Security Features Supporting a Distributed Shared Memory System - A memory management and protection system that incorporates device security features that support a distributed, shared memory system.

Deputy masters such as DMA controllers inherit the Privilege Identifier of the originating master. An extended memory controller selects the appropriate set of segment registers based on the Privilege Identifier to insure that the request is compared to and translated by the segment register associated with the master originating the request. | 09-20-2012 |
