AN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING DATA ACCESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MEMORY ACCESS PATTERNS

摘要

An apparatus and method are described for performing data access in accordance with memory access patterns. In one embodiment, the method in response to a memory access instruction, and includes the determination of a memory access pattern of data associated with the memory-access instruction. Once the memory access pattern is determined, the data associated with the memory access instruction is accessed according to the determined memory access pattern. Finally, when, once the data is accessed, data is stored according to the memory-access instruction. Thus, in this embodiment of the invention, the data jig is accessed according to memory access patterns including zag patterns scan, Zerotree scan, bit plane extraction, fine-grained scalability, etc. ; Memory, IC, data access, the memory access pattern, CPU
