Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus and method for efficiently managing memory requests. an integrated circuit includes multiple compute circuits, each capable of processing a data block of multiple data blocks. an amount of available data storage space of a cache is smaller than storage space in a memory for storing the multiple data blocks. in various implementations, the multiple compute circuits process data blocks in a contiguous manner, and pointer updating circuitry assigns data block identifiers in a contiguous manner. the circuitry updates the pointer of an initial data block to use for a particular stage of data processing to a value which increases cache hits during the particular stage of data processing. the circuitry accounts for the number of data blocks of intermediate results to increase or decrease for a particular stage of data processing when updating the pointers.
