| Feb 5, 2020 at 4:46 | comment | added | OmarAI | Let me ask the question in a different way: can the maximum chunk of data fetched by the processor from the 32-bit memory be two 32-bit halfwords? (Hence 64 bit for a word) | |
| Feb 4, 2020 at 22:58 | comment | added | greybeard | Well, what does it mean to read and/or write [eight byte words] from/to memory with "row"s of four bytes, what is the difference to transferring two four-byte (half?)words? | |
