Abstract:
A cache system, having a first cache, a second cache, and a logic circuit coupled to control the first cache and the second cache according to an execution type of a processor. When an execution type of a processor is a first type indicating non-speculative execution of instructions and the first cache is configured to service commands from a command bus for accessing a memory system, the logic circuit is configured to copy a portion of content cached in the first cache to the second cache. The cache system can include a configurable data bit. The logic circuit can be coupled to control the caches according to the bit. Alternatively, the caches can include cache sets. The caches can also include registers associated with the cache sets respectively. The logic circuit can be coupled to control the cache sets according to the registers.
