AN APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING MEMORY DATA ACCESS WITH GENERIC READ/WRITE PATTERNS

摘要

Device and method for facilitating memory data access with the general read / write patterns are described. In one embodiment, the method in response to a loading command, re-tiling (re-tiling; RT) in the cache, includes detecting a cache hit / cache miss of data requested by the load instruction. When a cache miss is detected, the data block is loaded into the RT cache according to the load command. The data block includes the data requested by the load instruction. Once loaded, a non-horizontally sequential access of data requested by the load instruction is performed from the RT cache. Finally, the data accessed from the RT cache may be stored in the destination data storage device according to the loading command. ; RT cache, non-horizontally sequential access, the cache hit / miss, load command, processor
