Load Store Unit (LSU)

The part of a processor that handles load and store transfers.

LSU

See 

Load Store Unit.

Macrocell

A complex logic block with a defined interface and behavior. A typical VLSI system comprises 
several macrocells (such as a processor, an ETM, and a memory block) plus application-specific 
logic.

Memory coherency

A memory is coherent if the value read by a data read or instruction fetch is the value that was 
most recently written to that location. Memory coherency is made difficult when there are 
multiple possible physical locations that are involved, such as a system that has main memory, 
a write buffer and a cache.

Memory Protection Unit (MPU)

Hardware that controls access permissions to blocks of memory. Unlike an MMU, an MPU does 
not translate virtual addresses to physical addresses.

Microprocessor

See 

Processor.

Miss

See 

Cache miss.

Monitor debug-mode

One of two mutually exclusive debug modes. In Monitor debug-mode the processor enables a 
software abort handler provided by the debug monitor or operating system debug task. When a 
breakpoint or watchpoint is encountered, this enables vital system interrupts to continue to be 
serviced while normal program execution is suspended. 

See also 

Halt mode.

MPU

See 

Memory Protection Unit.

NaN

Not a number. A symbolic entity encoded in a floating-point format that has the maximum 
exponent field and a nonzero fraction. An SNaN causes an invalid operand exception if used as 
an operand and a most significant fraction bit of zero. A QNaN propagates through almost every 
arithmetic operation without signaling exceptions and has a most significant fraction bit of one.

Penalty

The number of cycles in which no useful Execute stage pipeline activity can occur because the 
instruction flow is different from that assumed or predicted.

Power-on reset

See 

Cold reset.

Prefetching

In pipelined processors, the process of fetching instructions from memory to fill up the pipeline 
before the preceding instructions have finished executing. Prefetching an instruction does not 
mean that the instruction has to be executed.

Prefetch Abort

An indication from a memory system to the processor that an instruction has been fetched from 
an illegal memory location. An exception must be taken if the processor attempts to execute the 
instruction. A Prefetch Abort can be caused by the external or internal memory system as a 
result of attempting to access invalid instruction memory. 

See also 

Data Abort, External Abort and Abort.

Processor

A contraction of microprocessor. A processor includes the CPU or core, plus additional 
components such as memory, and interfaces. These are combined as a single macrocell, that can 
be fabricated on an integrated circuit. 

Read

Reads are defined as memory operations that have the semantics of a load. That is, the ARM 
instructions
