Abstract
A processor having an address generation unit (AGU) for generating an address corresponding to an entry that is to be fetched. The AGU includes a segment register file for storing address segments, and a circuit for rearranging noncontiguous base and limit bit positions of a first address segment in order to generate a second address segment having all base and limit bits in a contiguous order. The AGU further includes a circuit for executing a single microinstruction to perform read and write operations on a selected field of the second address segments stored in the segment register file.
