Abstract

Methods and systems for processing memory lookup requests are provided. In an embodiment, an address processing unit includes an instructions module configured to store instructions to be executed to complete a primary memory lookup request and a logic unit coupled to the instructions module. The primary memory lookup request is associated with a desired address. Based on an instruction stored in the instructions module, the logic unit is configured to generate a secondary memory lookup request that requests the desired address. In another embodiment, a method of processing memory lookups requests includes receiving a primary memory lookup request that corresponds to a desired memory address and generating a plurality of secondary memory lookup requests.
