20120166729 | SUBCACHE AFFINITY - A method and apparatus for controlling affinity of subcaches is disclosed. When a core compute unit evicts a line of victim data, a prioritized search for space allocation on available subcaches is executed, in order of proximity between the subcache and the compute unit. The victim data may be injected into an adjacent subcache if space is available. Otherwise, a line may be evicted from the adjacent subcache to make room for the victim data or the victim data may be sent to the next closest subcache. To retrieve data, a core compute unit sends a Tag Lookup Request message directly to the nearest subcache as well as to a cache controller, which controls routing of messages to all of the subcaches. A Tag Lookup Response message is sent back to the cache controller to indicate if the requested data is located in the nearest sub-cache. | 06-28-2012 |
