Abstract
(EN)
A method and apparatus to detect and filter out redundant cache line addresses in a prefetch input queue, and to adjust the detector window size dynamically according to the number of detector entries in the queue for the cache-to-memory controller bus. Detectors correspond to cache line addresses that may represent cache misses in various levels of cache memory.
(FR)
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil permettant de détecter et de filtrer des lignes d'antémémoire redondantes dans une file d'attente en entrée de lecture anticipée, et d'ajuster dynamiquement la taille de fenêtre d'un détecteur en fonction du nombre d'entrées du détecteur dans la file d'attente pour le bus de commande antémémoire-à-mémoire. Les détecteurs correspondent à des adresses de lignes de l'antémémoire qui peuvent représenter des recherches infructueuses dans l'antémémoire à divers niveaux de l'antémémoire.
