  • Technique for improving processor performance
    Patent number: 7120758
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for improving processor performance. In some embodiments, processing speed may be improved by reusing data stored in a buffer during an initial request by subsequent requests. Assignment of temporary storage buffers in a controller may be made to allow for the potential for reuse of the data. Further, a hot buffer may be designated to allow for reuse of the data stored in the hot buffer. On subsequent requests, data stored in the hot buffer may be sent to a requesting device without re-retrieving the data from memory.
    Type: Grant
