Technology for providing data to a processing unit is disclosed. A computer processor may be divided into a master processing unit and consumer processing units. The master processing unit at least partially decodes a machine instruction and determines whether data is needed to execute the machine instruction. The master processing unit sends a request to memory for the data. The request may indicate that the data is to be sent from the memory to a consumer processing unit. The data sent by the memory in response to the request may be stored in local read storage that is close to the consumer processing unit for fast access. The master processing unit may also provide the machine instruction to the consumer processing unit. The consumer processing unit may access the data from the local read storage and execute the machine instruction based on the accessed data.

Main processor prefetching operands for coprocessor operations

It is possible to reduce the latency attributable to memory protection in shared memory systems by performing access protection at a central Data Ownership Manager (DOM), rather than at distributed memory management units in the central processing unit (CPU) elements (CEs) responsible for parallel thread processing. In particular, the DOM may monitor read requests communicated over a data plane between the CEs and a memory controller, and perform access protection verification in parallel with the memory controller's generation of the data response. The DOM may be separate and distinct from both the CEs and the memory controller, and therefore may generally be able to make the access determination without interfering with data plane processing/generation of the read requests and data responses exchanged between the memory controller and the CEs.
