Abstract

A processing device is provided which includes a processor and a data storage structure. The data storage structure comprises a data storage array comprising a plurality of lines. Each line comprises at least one A latch configured to store a data bit and a clock gater. The data storage structure also comprises a write data B latch configured to store, over different clock cycles, a different data bit, each to be written to the at least one A latch of one of the plurality of lines. The data storage structure also comprises a plurality of write index B latches shared by the clock gaters of the lines. The write index B latches are configured to store, over the different clock cycles, combinations of index bits having values which index one of the lines to which a corresponding data bit is to be stored.
