Abstract: A cache managing method of a display driving apparatus may be provided. The display driving apparatus including an encoder to generate compressed data by compressing raw data, a memory to store the compressed data, and a decoder to restore the compressed data and including a payload cache may be provided. The cache managing method including requesting an access to the compressed data, and managing the payload cache using a linked list according to the access request to the compressed data may be provided.

Abstract: A page descriptor can be stored in advance in a memory management unit under various conditions so that an address translation overhead can be reduced. The memory management unit comprises an address translation unit that receives a memory access request as a virtual address and translates the virtual address to a physical address. A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) stores page descriptors of a plurality of physical addresses, the address translation unit determining whether a page descriptor corresponding to a received virtual address is present in the translation lookaside buffer. A prefetch buffer stores page descriptors of the plurality of physical addresses.

Abstract: A memory management unit comprises an address translation unit that receives a memory access request as a virtual address and translates the virtual address to a physical address. A translation lookaside buffer stores page descriptors of a plurality of physical addresses, the address translation unit determining whether a page descriptor of a received virtual address is present in the translation lookaside buffer. A prefetch buffer stores page descriptors of the plurality of physical addresses. The address translation unit, in the event the page descriptor of the received virtual address is not present in the translation lookaside buffer, further determines whether the page descriptor of the received virtual address is present in the prefetch buffer; updates the translation lookaside buffer with the page descriptor in response to the determination; and performs a translation of the virtual address to a physical address using the page descriptor.
