==COHERENT MEMORY ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18129559 titled 'COHERENT MEMORY ACCESS

The abstract describes an apparatus and method for providing coherent memory access, involving a memory array, processing resources, cache lines, and cache controllers.

* The apparatus includes a memory array, processing resources, cache lines, and cache controllers.
* The cache controllers are configured to provide coherent access to data stored in different cache lines corresponding to a memory address.
* Coherent access is achieved through address registers in the cache controllers storing the memory address.

Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in computer systems to improve memory access efficiency.
- It can enhance the performance of multi-core processors by ensuring coherent data access.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

Apparatuses and methods related to providing coherent memory access. An apparatus for providing coherent memory access can include a memory array, a first processing resource, a first cache line and a second cache line coupled to the memory array, a first cache controller, and a second cache controller. The first cache controller coupled to the first processing resource and to the first cache line can be configured to provide coherent access to data stored in the second cache line and corresponding to a memory address. A second cache controller coupled through an interface to a second processing resource external to the apparatus and coupled to the second cache line can be configured to provide coherent access to the data stored in the first cache line and corresponding to the memory address. Coherent access can be provided using a first cache line address register of the first cache controller which stores the memory address and a second cache line address register of the second cache controller which also stores the memory address.
