CACHE MEMORY, MEMORY SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
A cache memory includes a first cache area corresponding to even addresses, and a second cache area corresponding to odd addresses, wherein each of the first and second cache areas includes a plurality of cache sets, and each cache set includes a data set field suitable for storing data corresponding to an address among the even and odd addresses, and a pair field suitable for storing information on a location where data corresponding to an adjacent address which is adjacent to an address corresponding to the stored data is stored.
DATA CACHE REGION PREFETCHER
A method, system, and processing system for pre-fetching data is disclosed. The method, system, and processing system includes data cache region prefetch circuitry for detecting a first access by a first instruction at a first instruction address to a first memory portion, detecting a first non-sequential access pattern to a set of addresses in the first memory portion, and in response to a miss by a second instruction at the first instruction address, and in response to the non-sequential access pattern occurring, pre-fetching data according to the first non-sequential access pattern.
Look-up table read
A digital data processor includes an instruction memory storing instructions specifying data processing operations and a data operand field, an instruction decoder coupled to the instruction memory for recalling instructions from the instruction memory and determining the operation and the data operand, and an operational unit coupled to a data register file and an instruction decoder to perform an operation upon an operand corresponding to an instruction decoded by the instruction decoder and storing results of the operation. The operational unit is configured to perform a table recall in response to a look up table read instruction by recalling data elements from a specified location and adjacent location to the specified location, in a specified number of at least one table and storing the recalled data elements in successive slots in a destination register. Recalled data elements include at least one interpolated data element in the adjacent location.
Look-up table read
A digital data processor includes a multi-stage butterfly network, which is configured to, in response to a look up table read instruction, receive look up table data from an intermediate register, reorder the look up table data based on control signals comprising look up table configuration register data, and write the reordered look up table data to a destination register specified by the look up table read instruction.
Cache memory, memory system including the same and operating method thereof
A cache memory includes a first cache area corresponding to even addresses, and a second cache area corresponding to odd addresses, wherein each of the first and second cache areas includes a plurality of cache sets, and each cache set includes a data set field suitable for storing data corresponding to an address among the even and odd addresses, and a pair field suitable for storing information on a location where data corresponding to an adjacent address which is adjacent to an address corresponding to the stored data is stored.
Disassociating memory units with a host system
A command pertaining to a non-volatile memory device on a memory sub-system is received from a host system. A portion of the non-volatile memory device has an association with the host system. In response to determining that the command is a dissociate instruction to dissociate the portion of the non-volatile memory device on the memory sub-system with the host system, remove the association of the portion of the non-volatile memory device on the memory sub-system with the host system.

PREFETCH KILL AND REVIVAL IN AN INSTRUCTION CACHE
A system comprises a processor including a CPU core, first and second memory caches, and a memory controller subsystem. The memory controller subsystem speculatively determines a hit or miss condition of a virtual address in the first memory cache and speculatively translates the virtual address to a physical address. Associated with the hit or miss condition and the physical address, the memory controller subsystem configures a status to a valid state. Responsive to receipt of a first indication from the CPU core that no program instructions associated with the virtual address are needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status to an invalid state and, responsive to receipt of a second indication from the CPU core that a program instruction associated with the virtual address is needed, the memory controller subsystem reconfigures the status back to a valid state.
System and method for implementing non-blocking, concurrent hash tables
A computer-implemented method of resizing a data structure includes storing a first hash index comprising x elements, wherein x is a positive integer greater than two, determining that the first hash index needs to expand, allocating a second hash index, wherein the second index contains at least x+1 elements, attempting, by a first thread, to advance a first pointer from the first hash index to the second hash index, attempting, by a second thread, to advance the first pointer from the first hash index to the second hash index, where only one of the first thread or the second thread will advance the first pointer based on an atomic operation.
Adaptive Cache
Described apparatuses and methods form adaptive cache lines having a configurable capacity from hardware cache lines having a fixed capacity. The adaptive cache lines can be formed in accordance with a programmable cache-line parameter. The programmable cache-line parameter can specify a capacity for the adaptive cache lines. The adaptive cache lines may be formed by combining respective groups of fixed-capacity hardware cache lines. The quantity of fixed-capacity hardware cache lines included in respective adaptive cache lines may be based on the programmable cache-line parameter. The programmable cache-line parameter can be selected in accordance with characteristics of the cache workload.
