Abstract
The invention concerns a method for read-addressing a site among a plurality of storage units using a coded address derived from an instruction. The method comprises the following steps: a) predicting (104) the storage unit corresponding to the site to be addressed; b) decoding (108) the address of the site to be addressed and determining (109) the storage unit to be addressed; c) managing (105) a potential read and rewrite conflict assuming that the predicted storage unit is the storage unit to be addressed; d) controlling (111) the addressing of the predicted storage unit at the end of the managing step (105); e) at the end of step b), determining (110) whether the storage unit to be addressed corresponds to the predicted storage unit; and f) if the storage unit to be addressed does not correspond to the predicted storage unit, managing (115) a possible read and rewrite conflict in the storage unit to be addressed and addressing the site of the storage unit to be addressed.
