ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides circuitry which facilitates user selection of alternative memory accessing techniques. The present invention provides a design approach or technique to transform the time associated with waiting for a valid "way-select" signal into cycle reduction time, thus providing a beneficial increase in the overall performance of multi-way associative cache and memory designs.
