DELAYED CACHE WRITEBACK INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMPROVED DATA SHARING IN MANYCORE PROCESSORS
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to one or more delayed cache writeback instructions for improved data sharing in manycore processors are described. In an embodiment, a delayed cache writeback instruction causes a cache block in a modified state in a Level 1 (L1) cache of a first core of a plurality of cores of a multi-core processor to a Modified write back (M.wb) state. The M.wb state causes the cache block to be written back to LLC upon eviction of the cache block from the L1 cache. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
