Abstract
A memory is provided which has a memory region for storing data, an input for receiving a data bundle with a plurality of temporally sequential data blocks and an input for receiving a data mask signal which is assigned to the data bundle. The memory also has a unit for receiving a data block from the plurality of temporally sequential data bundle data blocks which is to be written into the memory region in dependence on the data mask signal. The memory also includes a unit for writing the received data block into the memory region.
Claims12
Memory comprising
- a memory region for storing data;
- an input for receiving a data bundle with a plurality of temporally sequential data blocks;
- an input for receiving in parallel, a first signal and a second signal, the first signal and the second signal forming a data mask signal which is assigned to the data bundle;
- a unit for receiving from the plurality of temporally sequential data blocks of the data bundle a data block which is to be written into the memory region in dependence on the data mask signal;
- wherein the unit for receiving is formed to receive a first set of temporally sequential data blocks of data bundle depending on the first signal, which is to be written into the memory region, and a second set of temporally sequential data blocks of the data bundle depending of the second signal which is to be written into the memory region;
- and
- a unit for writing the received data block into the memory region.
Processor system comprising
- a memory region for storing data;
- an input for receiving a data bundle with a plurality of temporally sequential data blocks;
- an input for receiving in parallel, a first signal and a second signal, the first signal and the second signal forming a data mask signal which is assigned to the data bundle;
- a unit for receiving from the plurality of temporally sequential data blocks of the data bundle a data block which is to be written into the memory region in dependence on the data mask signal;
- wherein the unit for receiving is formed to receive a first set of temporally sequential data blocks of data bundle depending on the first signal, which is to be written into the memory region, and a second set of temporally sequential data blocks of the data bundle depending of the second signal which is to be written into the memory region;
- and a unit for writing the received data block into the memory region;
- and
- a central processing unit comprising
- a unit for generating a data bundle with a plurality of temporally sequential data blocks;
- and
- a unit for generating the first and the second signal, the first signal and the second signal forming a data mask signal which is assigned to the data bundle.
Method for performing write operations on a memory region comprising the following steps:
- receiving a first signal and a second signal in parallel, the signals forming data mask signal;
- receiving a data bundle with a plurality of temporally sequential data blocks;
- receiving a data block having a first set of temporally sequential data blocks of the data bundle depending on the first signal, which is to be written into the memory region, and a second set of temporally sequential data blocks of the data bundle depending on the second signal which is to be written into the memory region;
- and
- writing the received data block into the memory region.
