摘要： According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and technique for variable cache line size management is disclosed. The system includes a processor and a cache hierarchy, where the cache hierarchy includes a sectored upper level cache and an unsectored lower level cache, and wherein the upper level cache includes a plurality of sub-sectors, each sub-sector having a cache line size corresponding to a cache line size of the lower level cache. The system also includes logic executable to, responsive to determining that a cache line from the upper level cache is to be evicted to the lower level cache: identify referenced sub-sectors of the cache line to be evicted; invalidate unreferenced sub-sectors of the cache line to be evicted; and store the referenced sub-sectors in the lower level cache.

摘要： Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to a cache comprising a tracking unit and cache state machines. In some embodiments, the tracking unit is configured to track an amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within a past period. In some embodiments, each of the cache state machines is configured to, determine whether a memory access request results in a cache miss or cache hit, and in response to a cache miss for a memory access request, query the tracking unit for the amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within the past period. In some embodiments, the each of the cache state machines is configured to service the memory access request based, at least in part, on the amount of cache resources used to service the cache misses within the past period according to the tracking unit.

摘要： Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to determining that a memory access request results in a cache miss and determining an amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within a past period in response to determining that the memory access request results in the cache miss. Some embodiments are further directed to determining that servicing the memory access request would increase the amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within the past period to exceed a threshold. In some embodiments, the threshold corresponds to reservation of a given amount of cache resources for potential cache hits. Some embodiments are further directed to rejecting the memory access request in response to the determining that servicing the memory access request would increase the amount of cache resources used to service cache misses within the past period to exceed the threshold.

摘要： A data processing system and computer program product for processing instructions. The instructions are processed by a processor unit while using a first table in a plurality of tables to predict a set of instructions needed by the processor unit after processing of a conditional instruction. An identification is formed that a rate of success in correctly predicting the set of instructions when using the first table is less than a threshold number. A sequence of the instructions being processed by the processor unit is searched for an instruction that matches a marker in a set of markers for identifying when to use the plurality of tables. An identification that the instruction that matches the marker is formed. A second table from the plurality of tables referenced by the marker is identified. The second table is used in place of the first table.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and system are provided for prefetching data into a cache memory. As a program is executed an object identifier is obtained of a first object of the program. A lookup operation is performed on a data structure to determine if the object identifier is present in the data structure. Responsive to the object identifier being present in the data structure, a referenced object identifier is retrieved that is referenced by the object identifier. Then, the data associated with the referenced object identifier is prefetched from main memory into the cache memory.
