Abstract
An apparatus comprises control information storage to store a plurality of entries of control information for controlling data processing operations relating to a given memory address; eviction storage to store a plurality of entries that have been evicted from the control information storage; lookup handling circuitry to control handling of a lookup request for data corresponding to a target memory address. When in a parallel mode, the lookup handling circuitry controls the control information storage and the eviction storage to perform the lookup request in parallel; and when in a serial mode, the lookup handling circuitry controls the control information storage to perform the lookup request, and controls the eviction storage to perform the lookup request in response to the lookup request missing in the control information storage. Mode control circuitry controls whether the lookup handling circuitry is to operate in the parallel mode or the serial mode.
