  • Sign generation bypass path to aligner for reducing signed data load latency
    Patent number: 6965985
    Abstract: A method for reducing signed load latency in a microprocessor has been developed. The method includes transferring a part of data to an aligner via a bypass, and generating a sign bit from the part of the data. The sign bit is transferred to the aligner along the bypass, and the data is separately transferred to the aligner along a data path.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 15, 2005
    Assignee: Sun Mirosystems, Inc.
    Inventors: David M. Pini, Yuefei Ge, Anup S. Tirumala
  • Row redundancy in a content addressable memory device
    Patent number: 6865098
    Abstract: A content addressable memory (CAM) has a main array including a plurality of rows of CAM cells, one or more spare rows of CAM cells selectable to functionally replace defective rows of CAM cells in the main array, and a control circuit for disabling the defective rows by writing predetermined data to the defective rows of CAM cells.

  • Method of processing signed loads with the same latency as unsigned loads in a high-frequency processor
    Publication number: 20030101332
    Abstract: A method for reducing signed load latency in a microprocessor has been developed. The method includes transferring a part of data to an aligner via a bypass, and generating a sign bit from the part of the data. The sign bit is transferred to the aligner along the bypass, and the data is separately transferred to the aligner along a data path.
