MOTOROLA
Little-endian. A byte-ordering method in memory where the address
n
of a
word corresponds to the least-signiÞcant byte. In an addressed
memory word, the bytes are ordered (left to right) 3, 2, 1, 0, with 3
being the most-signiÞcant byte.
See
Big-endian.
Master, The name given to a bus device that has been granted control, or
mastership, of the bus.
Memory access ordering. The speciÞc order in which the processor
performs load and store memory accesses and the order in which
those accesses complete.
Memory controller. A unit whose primary function is to control the external
bus memories and I/O devices.
Memory coherency. An aspect of caching in which it is ensured that an
accurate view of memory is provided to all devices that share system
memory.
Memory consistency. Refers to agreement of levels of memory with respect
to a single processor and system memory (for example, on-chip
cache, secondary cache, and system memory).
Memory management unit (MMU). The functional unit that is capable of
translating an effective (logical) address to a physical address,
providing protection mechanisms, and deÞning caching methods.
Microarchitecture. The hardware details of a microprocessorÕs design. Such
details are not deÞned by the PowerPC architecture.
Mnemonic. The abbreviated name of an instruction used for coding.
ModiÞed state. When a cache block is in the modiÞed state, it has been
modiÞed by the processor since it was copied from memory.
See
MESI.
Munging. A modiÞcation performed on an effective address that allows it to
appear to the processor that individual aligned scalars are stored as
little-endian values, when in fact it is stored in big-endian order, but
at different byte addresses within double words. Note that munging
affects only the effective address and not the byte order. Note also
that this term is not used by the PowerPC architecture.
Most-signiÞcant bit (msb). The highest-order bit in an address, registers,
data element, or instruction encoding.
