How do I read multiple files?

Register files have one word line per entry per port, one bit line per bit of width per read port, and two bit lines per bit of width per write port. Each bit cell also has a Vdd and Vss. Therefore, the wire pitch area increases as the square of the number of ports, and the transistor area increases linearly. At some point, it may be smaller and/or faster to have multiple redundant register files, with smaller numbers of read ports, than a single register file with all the read ports. The MIPS R8000's integer unit, for example, had a 9 read 4 write port 32 entry 64-bit register file implemented in a 0.35-µm process, which could be seen looking at the chip from arms length.
