Abstract
A memory structure compresses a portion of a memory tag using an indexed tag compression structure. A set of higher order bits of the memory tag may be stored in the indexed tag compression structure, where the set of higher order bits are identified by an index value. A tag array stores a set of lower order bits of the memory tag and the index value identifying the entry in the tag compression structure storing the set of higher order bits of the memory tag. The memory tag may comprise at least a portion of a memory address of a data element stored in a data array.
