Abstract

A method and a processor may include storing a first set of data in a data array in a cache unit substantially concurrently to reading a second set of data from the data array, and using the second set of data to generate error correction data corresponding to the first set of data. A method or processor may include reading an entry from a cache in a processor and executing two or more error detection mechanisms on the entry substantially concurrently.
