3.5.3.2.3 Aliased Memory

There can be cases where a pointer can point to multiple arrays, causing pointer aliasing. These pointers need to be resolved at runtime. We designate the memories that such a pointer can refer to as aliased memories, which are stored in a memory controller (described below). A memory controller contains all memories that can alias to each other, and allows memory accesses to be steered to the correct memory at runtime. There can be multiple memory controllers in a system, each containing a set of memories that alias to each other.

Aliased memories have a read latency of 2 clock cycles. The aliased memory read latency can be changed with theset_operation_latencyTcl parameter.
