Abstract: A digital system is provided. The digital system includes an execution unit, a level-zero (L0) memory, and an address generation unit. The execution unit is coupled to a data memory containing data to be used in operations of the execution unit. The L0 memory is coupled between the execution unit and the data memory and configured to receive a part of the data in the data memory. The address generation unit is configured to generate address information for addressing the L0 memory. Further, the L0 memory provides at least two operands of a single instruction from the part of the data to the execution unit directly, without loading the at least two operands into one or more registers, using the address information from the address generation unit.

Abstract: A digital system including a processor core and a cache control unit is disclosed. The processor core is capable of being coupled to a first memory containing data and a second memory with a faster speed than the first memory, and is configured to execute a segment of instructions having at least one instruction accessing the data from the second memory using a base register. The cache control unit is configured to be coupled to the first memory, the second memory, and the processor core to fill the data from the first memory to the second memory before the processor core executes the instruction accessing the data. Further, the cache control unit is further configured to examine the segment of instructions to extract instruction information containing at least data access instruction information and last register updating instruction information and to create a track corresponding to the segment of instructions based on the extracted instruction information.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for integrated circuit testing, wherein a plural number of devices under test (DUTs) and a plural number of comparison apparatuses are placed on a common substrate. The DUTs all operate under the same input stimulation and each produce its own operation output. The outputs are compared by the comparison apparatuses to generate comparison characteristics which are used to filter-out the failed devices. This invention lowers the testing cost, shortens time to product mass-production, and lowers the miss rate of failed devices passed as good ones.
