Systems and methods for supporting a plurality of load and store accesses of a cache

摘要

Systems and methods for supporting a plurality of load and store accesses of a cache are disclosed. Responsive to a request of a plurality of requests to access a block of a plurality of blocks of a load cache, the block of the load cache and a logically and physically paired block of a store coalescing cache are accessed in parallel. The data that is accessed from the block of the load cache is overwritten by the data that is accessed from the block of the store coalescing cache by merging on a per byte basis. Access is provided to the merged data.

主权项

1. A method for supporting a plurality of load and store accesses, comprising:
responsive to a request of a plurality of requests to access a data block of a plurality of data blocks of said load cache, accessing said data block of said load cache and a logically and physically paired data block of a store coalescing cache in parallel; comparing data accessed from said data block of said load cache to data that is accessed from said data block of said store coalescing cache and merging the data on a per byte basis; and providing access to the merged data.
