Abstract:
A method for supporting a plurality of requests for access to a data cache memory (“cache”) is disclosed. The method comprises accessing a first set of requests to access the cache, wherein the cache comprises a plurality of blocks. Further, responsive to the first set of requests to access the cache, the method comprises accessing a tag memory that maintains a plurality of copies of tags for each entry in the cache and identifying tags that correspond to individual requests of the first set. The method also comprises performing arbitration in a same clock cycle as the accessing and identifying of tags, wherein the arbitration comprises: (a) identifying a second set of requests to access the cache from the first set, wherein the second set accesses a same block within the cache; and (b) selecting each request from the second set to receive data from the same block.

Claim (Index 8):
The processor of  claim 7 , wherein the cache controller further includes:\n a second AND gate to receive a third input that indicates that the second tag is present in the second set of tags and a fourth input that the second request is satisfied via the bypass path, wherein a hit is generated for the second request by the second AND gate in response to the third input and the fourth input.
