The invention also relates to instruction pointer updating and segment limit checking in high-performance pipelined processors. In particular, the invention relates to performing multiple instruction pointer updates and segment limit checks within a cycle. BACKGROUND COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE RELATED ART ...

In addition, the addresses which pass to the memory banks are pipelined differently, depending on which bank is accessed first. The configuration allows each chip to be used to buffer multiple (e.g. 8) arrays of 32 bits (EEC may be included). One chip is required for small systems ...
the memory strobes (RAS, CAS, etc.) for driving the memories. The memory loads may be high, and require buffering between the PPC pins and the high capacitance loads. In addition, the addresses which pass to the memory banks are pipelined differently, depending on which bank is accessed ...
