Abstract
A hashing method and apparatus uses a hash function that can be modified in real time by a hash control code. The hash function involves the combining together of multiple bit-shifted versions of a multi-bit input to produce a transformed value from which the hash output is formed. The hash control code is used to set the number of input versions used to produce the transformed value and their respective degrees of bit-shifting. The hashing method and apparatus may be used in executing processor branch instructions where the identity of an item to be accessed occupies a search space that varies in size and degree of population between different branch instructions.
