Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed facilitate read-modify-write support in a coherent victim cache with parallel data paths. An example apparatus includes a random-access memory configured to be coupled to a central processing unit via a first interface and a second interface, the random-access memory configured to obtain a read request indicating a first address to read via a snoop interface, an address encoder coupled to the random-access memory, the address encoder to, when the random-access memory indicates a hit of the read request, generate a second address corresponding to a victim cache based on the first address, and a multiplexer coupled to the victim cache to transmit a response including data obtained from the second address of the victim cache.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a L2 controller, a request to perform a global operation on a L2 cache and preventing new blocking transactions from entering a pipeline coupled to the L2 cache while permitting new non-blocking transactions to enter the pipeline. Blocking transactions include read transactions and non-victim write transactions. Non-blocking transactions include response transactions, snoop transactions, and victim transactions. The method further includes, in response to an indication that the pipeline does not contain any pending blocking transactions, preventing new snoop transactions from entering the pipeline while permitting new response transactions and victim transactions to enter the pipeline; in response to an indication that the pipeline does not contain any pending snoop transactions, preventing, all new transactions from entering the pipeline; and, in response to an indication that the pipeline does not contain any pending transactions, performing the global operation on the L2 cache.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to reduce read-modify-write cycles for non-aligned writes. An example apparatus includes a memory that includes a plurality of memory banks, an interface configured to be coupled to a central processing unit, the interface to obtain a write operation from the central processing unit, wherein the write operation is to write a subset of the plurality of memory banks, and bank processing logic coupled to the interface and to the memory, the bank processing logic to determine the subset of the plurality of memory banks to write based on the write operation, and determine whether to cause a read operation to be performed in response to the write operation based on whether a number of addresses in the subset of the plurality of memory banks to write satisfies a threshold.
