Description

An instruction cache controller uses supplemental memory to store a redundant copy of cached instruction data corresponding to a cache boundary position, and thereby enables subsequent single cache access retrieval of an instruction that crosses that boundary position. In one or more embodiments, the cache controller duplicates instruction data for the post-boundary position in the supplemental memory, and multiplexes that copied data into cache data obtained from the pre-boundary position.

Selon l'invention, un contrôleur de cache d'instructions utilise une mémoire supplémentaire pour stocker une copie redondante de données d'instructions cachées correspondant à une position de limite de cache, et permet ainsi une récupération, par accès au cache unique, ultérieure, d'une instruction qui croise ladite position de limite. Dans un ou plusieurs modes de réalisation, le contrôleur de cache duplique des données d'instructions pour la position après la limite dans la mémoire supplémentaire et multiplexe lesdites données copiées en données de cache obtenues à partir de la position avant la limite.
