ABSTRACT:
A system may include M cache entries, each of the M cache entries to transmit a signal indicating a read from or a write to the cache entry and comprising a data register and a memory address register, and K layers of decision cells, where K=log2M. The K layers M/2 decision cells of a first layer to indicate the other one of the respective two of the M cache entries and to transmit a hit signal in response to the signal, a second layer of M/4 decision cells to enable the other one of the respective two of the M/2 decision cells of the first layer and transmit a second hit signal in response to the signal, a (K−1)th layer of two decision cells to enable the other one of the respective two decision cells of the (K−2)th layer and transmit a third hit signal in response to the second hit signal, and a Kth layer of a root decision cell to enable the other one of the respective two decision cells of the (K−1)th layer in response to the third hit signal.
