3.9.9 Fill Address Register (FILL_ADDR)<br />

Copyright © 1993 Digital Equipment Corporation.<br />

This read-only register contains the physical address associated with errors reported<br />

by BIU_STAT[14..8]. Its contents are meaningful only when FILL_EDC or FILL_<br />

DPERR is set. Reads of FILL_ADDR unlock FILL_ADDR, BIU_STAT[14..8] and<br />

FILL_SYNDROME.<br />

In the 21064, FILL_ADDR[33..5] identify the 32-byte cache block which the <strong>CPU</strong> was<br />

attempting to read when the error occurred.<br />

In the 21064, if the FILL_IRD bit of the BIU_STAT register is clear, indicating that<br />

the error occurred during a D-stream cache fill, then FILL_ADDR[4..2] contain bits<br />

[4..2] of the physical address generated by the load instruction which triggered the<br />

cache fill. If FILL_IRD is set, then FILL_ADDR[4..2] are UNPREDICTABLE. FILL_<br />

ADDR[63..34] and FILL_ADDR[1..0] read as zero.<br />
