I was looking at the specification of openRISC 1200 IP Core (from
www.opencores.org).

In the spec (page 11) it says that tge GPRs are implemented as "two
synchronous dual-port memories".

Does anyone know what this could mean or maybe a reference to an
answer?

I'd guess "Two dual port memories that are synchronous" :-) IE, they
both use the same clock?

I don't know, but reckon they do this to give them two read
ports and one write port (they write the same data into both
memories). Assuming that by dual port they mean "memory that has a
read port and a write port". Xilinx Block RAM has two ports, each
with a read and write port (ir 4 ports in total). This is probably
what they are using for the GPRs.

Cheers,
Martin
