An implicit address structure and technique are disclosed for rapidly accessing storage registers by eliminating the need for generating a separate address before referencing the register. A structure is provided for generating an address composed of parameters which are incorporated into the contents of the storage register. At the same time that the address generation occurs, the structure of the present invention provides an associative compare of the implicit registers, and if there is a match, the address generation step is terminated and the data is immediately available from the implicit register.
Famous quotes containing the words implicit and/or address:
“A piece of advice always contains an implicit threat, just as a threat always contains an implicit piece of advice.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“Patience, to hear frivolous, impertinent, and unreasonable applications: with address enough to refuse, without offending; or, by your manner of granting, to double the obligation: dexterity enough to conceal a truth, without telling a lie: sagacity enough to read other people’s countenances: and serenity enough not to let them discover anything by yours; a seeming frankness, with a real reserve. These are the rudiments of a politician; the world must be your grammar.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
