METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING AN EXTERNAL MEMORY ACCESS INTO A LOCAL MEMORY ACCESS IN A PROCESSOR CORE

摘要

A processor may include a processor core, which interprets and executes instructions, and a system bus interface, which enables the processor to communicate with a system. The system bus interface may include a fill bus and a DMA bus. The system bus interface may include a bridge between the fill bus and the DMA bus which enables the system bus interface to re-route information placed on the fill bus onto the DMA bus and back into the core.
