Abstract

In a data processor comprising a processing pass circuit and a cache, a record of processing passes to be performed by the processing pass circuit is stored, including storing, for each processing pass recorded in the buffer: information indicative of any data that is required for performing the processing pass that is not yet stored in the cache, including an identifier for any data that is required for performing the processing pass that is not yet stored in the cache. When new data to perform a processing pass is loaded into the cache, an identifier for that new data is compared to any identifiers for data that processing passes in the processing pass record are waiting for, and the information indicative of any data that is required for performing processing passes that is not yet stored in the cache stored in the processing pass record is updated.
