Abstract

A method and apparatus for assembling non-aligned packet fragments over multiple cycles is described. In one embodiment, the invention is a method. The method includes rotating a non-aligned data fragment within a rotate register based on a tail pointer of a prior data fragment to form a rotated data fragment. The method also includes outputting the rotated data fragment to a double width bus as a double width image of the rotated data fragment. The method further includes selectively copying the double width image of the rotated data fragment from the bus to a location logically following the prior data fragment in a destination register.
