摘要： Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for partitioning a system cache by sets and ways into component caches. A system cache memory controller may manage the component caches and manage access to the component caches. The system cache memory controller may receive system cache access requests specifying component cache identifiers, and match the component cache identifiers with records correlating traits of the component cache identifiers with in a component cache configuration table. The component cache traits may include a set shift trait, set offset trait, and target ways, which may define the locations of the component caches in the system cache. The system cache memory controller may also receive a physical address for the system cache in the system cache access request, determine an indexing mode for the component cache, and translate the physical address for the component cache.

摘要： A cache controller adaptively partitions a shared cache. The adaptive partitioning cache controller includes tag comparison and staling logic and selection logic that are responsive to client access requests and various parameters. A component cache is assigned a target occupancy which is compared to a current occupancy. A conditional identification of stale cache lines is used to manage data stored in the shared cache. When a conflict or cache miss is identified, selection logic identifies candidates for replacement preferably among cache lines identified as stale. Each cache line is assigned to a bucket with a fixed number of buckets per component cache. Allocated cache lines are assigned to a bucket as a function of the target occupancy. After a select number of buckets are filled, subsequent allocations result in the oldest cache lines being marked stale. Cache lines are deemed stale when their respective component cache active indicator is de-asserted.

摘要： Integrated circuits (ICs) employ subsystem shared cache memory for facilitating extension of low-power island (LPI) memory. An LPI subsystem and primary subsystems access a memory subsystem on a first access interface in a first power mode and the LPI subsystem accesses the memory subsystem by a second access interface in the low power mode. In the first power mode, the primary subsystems and the LPI subsystem may send a subsystem memory access request including a virtual memory address to a subsystem memory interface of the memory subsystem to access either data stored in an external memory or a version of the data stored in a shared memory circuit. In the low-power mode, the LPI subsystem sends an LPI memory access request including a direct memory address to an LPI memory interface of the memory subsystem to access the shared memory circuit to extend the LPI memory.

摘要： Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for dynamically partitioning a system cache by sets and ways into component caches. A system cache memory controller may manage the component caches and manage access to the component caches. The system cache memory controller may receive system cache access requests and reserve locations in the system cache corresponding to the component caches correlated with component cache identifiers of the requests. Reserving locations in the system cache may activate the locations in the system cache for use by a requesting client, and may also prevent other client from using the reserved locations in the system cache. Releasing the locations in the system cache may deactivate the locations in the system cache and allow other clients to use them. A client reserving locations in the system cache may change the amount of locations it has reserved within its component cache.
