摘要:
An external cache management unit for use with 3D-RAM and suitable for use in a computer graphics system is described. The unit maintains and tracks the status of level one cache memory in the 3D-RAM. The unit identifies dirty blocks of cache memory and prioritizes block cleansing based on a least used algorithm. Periodic block cleansing during empty memory cycles is provided for, and may also be prompted on demand.
