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)
“Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
