Abstract

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums that provide increased bandwidth caches to process requests more efficiently for more than a single address at a time. This increased bandwidth allows for multiple cache operations to be performed in parallel. In some examples, to achieve this bandwidth increase, multiple copies of the hit logic are used in conjunction with dividing the cache into two or more segments with each segment storing values from different addresses. In some examples, the hit logic may detect hits for each segment. That is, the hit logic does not correspond to a particular cache segment. Each address value may be serviced by any of the plurality of hit logic units.
