  • Patent number: 6463514
    Abstract: A method of arbitrating between cache access circuits (i.e., load/store units) by stalling a first cache access circuit in response to detection of a conflict between a first cache address and a second cache address. The stalling is performed in response to a comparison of one or more subarray selection bits in each of the first and second cache addresses, and further preferably includes a common contention logic unit for both the first and second cache access circuits. The first cache address is retained within the first cache access circuit so that the first cache access circuit does not need to re-generate the first cache address. If the same word (or doubleword) is being accessed by multiple load operations, this condition is not considered contention and both operations are allowed to proceed, even though they are in the same subarray of the interleaved cache.

  • Patent number: 5604879
    Abstract: A CAM/SRAM structure (44) performs address translations that are compatible with a segmentation/paging addressing scheme yet require only a single look-up step. Each entry in the effective-to-real-address-translator (ERAT) has two CAM fields (ESID, EPI) that independently compare an input segment identifier and an input page identifier to a stored segment identifier and a stored page identifier, respectively. The ERAT outputs a stored real address field (DATA) associated with a stored segment-stored page pair if both comparisons are equivalent. The ERAT can invalidate stored translations on the basis of segment or page granularity by requiring either a segment or a page CAM field match, respectively, during an invalidate operation.
