20090249033 | Data processing apparatus and method for handling instructions to be executed by processing circuitry - A data processing apparatus and method are provided for handling instructions to be executed by processing circuitry. The processing circuitry has a plurality of processor states, each processor state having a different instruction set associated therewith. Pre-decoding circuitry receives the instructions fetched from the memory and performs a pre-decoding operation to generate corresponding pre-decoded instructions, with those pre-decoded instructions then being stored in a cache for access by the processing circuitry. The pre-decoding circuitry performs the pre-decoding operation assuming a speculative processor state, and the cache is arranged to store an indication of the speculative processor state in association with the pre-decoded instructions. The processing circuitry is then arranged only to execute an instruction in the sequence using the corresponding pre-decoded instruction from the cache if a current processor state of the processing circuitry matches the indication of the speculative processor state stored in the cache for that instruction. This provides a simple and effective mechanism for detecting instructions that have been corrupted by the pre-decoding operation due to an incorrect assumption of processor state. | 10-01-2009 |

20150356033 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT PROCESSING OF QUEUED READ COMMANDS IN A MEMORY SYSTEM - A solid state drive (SSD) storage system includes a memory controller, host interface, memory channels and solid state memories as storage elements. The completion status of sub-commands of individual read commands is monitored and used to determine an optimal selection for returning data for individual read commands. The completion of a read command may be dependent on the completion of multiple individual memory accesses at various times. The queueing of multiple read commands which may proceed in parallel or out of order causes interleaving of multiple memory accesses from different commands to individual memories. A system and method is disclosed which enables the selection, firstly of completed read commands, independent of the order they were queued and, secondly, of partially completed read commands which are most likely to complete with the least interruption or delay, for data transfer, which in turn improves the efficiency of the data transfer interface. | 12-10-2015 |
