Abstract:
A cache memory comprises a first set of storage locations for holding syllables and addressable by a first group of addresses; a second set of storage locations for holding syllables and addressable by a second group of addresses; addressing circuitry operable to provide in each addressing cycle a pair of addresses comprising one from the first group and one from the second group, thereby accessing a plurality of syllables from each set of storage locations; and selection circuitry operable to select from said plurality of syllables to output to a processor lane based on whether a required syllable is addressable by an address in the first or second group.
