ABSTRACT:
A system and method providing ECC protection for all data block sizes for which a computer system supports store (ST) accesses includes an access control logic unit which converts store accesses for small data block (.ltoreq.64-bits) into read-modify (merge)-write accesses and a data merge logic unit which merges 64-bit data blocks retrieved by the load access with the small data block of the store access to create a new 64-bit data block. The data merge logic unit utilizes a merge code provided from a look-up table in a programmable logic array to perform the merging of the data blocks. An ECC generation logic unit processes the merged 64-bit data block, including the new small data block.
