Abhängigkeitssteuerung für überlappende Speicherzugriffe

摘要

The invention relates to a dependency controller for overlapping memory access operations, the addresses of said memory access operations carrying an identifier. According to the invention, those addresses which have not yet been processed are stored under said identifier. A dependency vector is produced by comparing each new address with all of the stored addresses, and then stored. The bits of said dependency vector are allocated to said identifiers and deleted by said identifier when the memory access operation is concluded.
