    摘要: Method and apparatus to efficiently manage data in caches. Data in caches may be managed based on priorities assigned to the data. Data may be requested by a process using a virtual address of the data. The requested data may be assigned a priority by a component in a computer system called an address range priority assigner (ARP). The ARP may assign a particular priority to the requested data if the virtual address of the requested data is within a particular range of virtual addresses. The particular priority assigned may be high priority and the particular range of virtual addresses may be smaller than a cache's capacity.

    摘要: A micro-architecture may provide a hardware and software of a high bandwidth write command. The micro-architecture may invoke a method to perform the high bandwidth write command. The method may comprise sending a write request from a requester to a record keeping structure. The write request may have a memory address of a memory that stores requested data. The method may further determine copies of the requested data being present in a distributed cache system outside the memory, sending invalidation requests to elements holding copies of the requested data in the distributed cache system, sending a notification to the requester to inform presence of copies of the requested data and sending a write response message after a latest value of the requested data and all invalidation acknowledgements have been received.

    摘要: An apparatus of an aspect includes a prefetch cache line address predictor to receive a cache line address and to predict a next cache line address to be prefetched. The next cache line address may indicate a cache line having at least 64-bytes of instructions. The prefetch cache line address predictor may have a cache line target history storage to store a cache line target history for each of multiple most recent corresponding cache lines. Each cache line target history may indicate whether the corresponding cache line had a sequential cache line target or a non-sequential cache line target. The cache line address predictor may also have a cache line target history predictor. The cache line target history predictor may predict whether the next cache line address is a sequential cache line address or a non-sequential cache line address, based on the cache line target history for the most recent cache lines.

    摘要: A multi-core processing apparatus may provide a cache probe and data retrieval method. The method may comprise sending a memory request from a requester to a record keeping structure. The memory request may have a memory address of a memory that stores requested data. The method may further comprise determining that a local last accessor of the memory address may have a copy of the requested data up to date with the memory. The local last accessor may be within a local domain that the requester belongs to. The method may further comprise sending a cache probe to the local last accessor and retrieving a latest value of the requested data from the local last accessor to the requester.

The cache line address predictor may also have a cache line target history predictor. The cache line target history predictor may predict whether the next cache line address is a sequential cache line address or a non-sequential cache line address, based on the cache line target history for the most recent cache lines.
