ABSTRACT:
A system and method for ordering the transfer of data words within a cache line transfer. The cache memory receives an address from a processor and selects the cache line corresponding to the address. The cache memory then determines an order for transferring cache line data words from the selected cache line based on the likelihood that each data word in the order will be needed by the processor. The data words are then transferred to the processor in the desired order.
