A method and data processing device for generating addresses

Abstract

A method for generating an address and a data processing device, related to the technical field of storage and used to solve the current technical problem that an access and storage instruction occupies a large amount of storage space. A memory comprises a first recirculation region and a second recirculation region. When a first operation instruction regarding the second recirculation region is received, an initial address of the first recirculation region can be modified by means of a second step value corresponding to the second recirculation region, in addition to executing the first operation instruction. When the next clock period arrives, an address corresponding to the operation instruction received this time can be obtained; that is, when the operation instruction regarding the first recirculation region or the second recirculation region is received again next time, an operation can be performed directly according to the address obtained last time, without the need of carrying a destination address in the operation instruction. Consequently, the quantity of codes of the instruction is reduced, it is not necessary to consume a large amount of storage space to store the codes, and at the same time, the programming burden of programming personnel is also reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage technology, in particular to a method for generating an address and a data processing device. Background technique [0002] The functions that current applications can perform are becoming more and more powerful, and more and more data are processed. For example, data-intensive applications also appear now. The so-called data-intensive refers to the storage and calculation of massive data, and its corresponding applications widely exist in various fields such as the World Wide Web, scientific computing, and artificial intelligence. Especially after entering the 21st century, with the rapid development of mobile Internet, cloud computing, and Internet of Things, the amount of global information is increasing exponentially, and a storm of data-intensive applications is forming.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Data-intensive applications frequently access memory, and the law of memory access is not obvious, not a simple linear growth

In the existing memory access system, each instruction needs to explicitly indicate the destination address of the memory access operation, which makes the memory access instruction occupy a large amount of storage space

At the same time, when programming, the programmer needs to take into account the memory access address for each instruction, which also increases the burden on the programmer.
