    摘要: A method for handling cache coherency includes allocating a tag when a cache line is not exclusive in a data cache for a store operation, and sending the tag and an exclusive fetch for the line to coherency logic. An invalidation request is sent within a minimum amount of time to an I-cache, preferably only if it has fetched to the line and has not been invalidated since, which request includes an address to be invalidated, the tag, and an indicator specifying the line is for a PSC operation. The method further includes comparing the request address against stored addresses of prefetched instructions, and in response to a match, sending a match indicator and the tag to an LSU, within a maximum amount of time. The match indicator is timed, relative to exclusive data return, such that the LSU can discard prefetched instructions following execution of the store operation that stores to a line subject to an exclusive data return, and for which the match is indicated.

    摘要: A pipelined processor includes circuitry adapted for store forwarding, including: for each store request, and while a write to one of a cache and a memory is pending; obtaining the most recent value for at least one block of data; merging store data from the store request with the block of data thus updating the block of data and forming a new most recent value and an updated complete block of data; and buffering the updated block of data into a store data queue; for each additional store request, where the additional store request requires at least one updated block of data: determining if store forwarding is appropriate for the additional store request on a block-by-block basis; if store forwarding is appropriate, selecting an appropriate block of data from the store data queue on a block-by-block basis; and forwarding the selected block of data to the additional store request.
