摘要:
In response to a transfer stimulus, performance of a processing workload is transferred from a source processing circuitry to a destination processing circuitry, in preparation for the source processing circuitry to be placed in a power saving condition following the transfer. To reduce the number of memory fetches required by the destination processing circuitry following the transfer, a cache of the source processing circuitry is maintained in a powered state for a snooping period. During the snooping period, cache snooping circuitry snoops data values in the source cache and retrieves the snoop data values for the destination processing circuitry.
