Devices, systems and methods for accessing data using a gun preferred data organization

摘要

A processing system operates on data words each having first and second portions. A first memory stores the first portion of a first data word accessible by a first set of address bits received at first address inputs and a second set of address bits received at second address inputs, and stores the second portion of a second word accessible by the first set of address bits received at the first address inputs and a third set of address bits received at the second address inputs. A second memory stores the first portion of the second data word accessible by a first set of address bits received at first address inputs and a second set of bits received at second address input, and stores the second portion of the first word accessible by the first set of address bits received at the first address inputs and a third set of address bits received at the second address inputs. A first access mode accesses a selected one of the first and second portions of both the first and second words. A second access mode accesses both the first and second portions of a selected one of the first and second words.
