  • Method of establishing pre-fetch control information from an executable code and an associated NVM controller, a device, a processor system and computer program products
    Patent number: 9817763
    Abstract: A method of establishing pre-fetch control information from an executable code is described. The method comprises inspecting the executable code to find one or more instructions corresponding to an unconditional change in program flow during an execution of the executable code when the executable code is retrieved from a non-volatile memory comprising a plurality of NVM lines.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Alistair Robertson, Nancy Amedeo, Mark Maiolani
  • Integrated circuit device and method for providing data access control
    Patent number: 9342258
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device comprising at least one memory interface module arranged to be operably coupled between at least one data storage device and a plurality of master devices within a data processing system. The at least one memory interface module comprises a plurality of buffers and at least one data access control module. The at least one data access control module being arranged to fetch data from the at least one data storage device in response to a received memory access request comprising a master device identifier, select at least one buffer based at least partly on the master device identifier of the received access request, and load the fetched data into the selected at least one buffer.

  • METHOD OF ESTABLISHING PRE-FETCH CONTROL INFORMATION FROM AN EXECUTABLE CODE AND AN ASSOCIATED NVM CONTROLLER, A DEVICE, A PROCESSOR SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS
    Publication number: 20150356016
    Abstract: A method of establishing pre-fetch control information from an executable code is described. The method comprises inspecting the executable code to find one or more instructions corresponding to an unconditional change in program flow during an execution of the executable code when the executable code is retrieved from a non-volatile memory [NVM] comprising a plurality of NVM lines.
