Abstract
A register file organization is used to support multiple accesses from more than one processor or pipeline. This shared register file is organized for a multiple processor device that includes a high performance (HP) and a low power (LP) core. The shared register file includes separate HP and LP storage units coupled to separate HP and LP write and read ports.
