Abstract:
Methods and systems for processing memory lookup requests are provided. In an embodiment, an address processing unit includes an instructions module configured to store instructions to be executed to complete a primary memory lookup request and a logic unit coupled to the instructions module. The primary memory lookup request is associated with a desired address. Based on an instruction stored in the instructions module, the logic unit is configured to generate a secondary memory lookup request that requests the desired address.In another embodiment, a method of processing memory lookups requests includes receiving a primary memory lookup request that corresponds to a desired memory address and generating a plurality of secondary memory lookup requests.
