IMPLEMENTING SELECTIVE CACHE INJECTION

摘要

A method, system and memory controller for implementing memory hierarchy placement decisions in a memory system including direct routing of arriving data into a main memory system and selective injection of the data or computed results into a processor cache in a computer system. A memory controller, or a processing element in a memory system, selectively drives placement of data into other levels of the memory hierarchy. The decision to inject into the hierarchy can be triggered by the arrival of data from an input output (IO) device, from computation, or from a directive of an in-memory processing element.

1. A method for implementing memory hierarchy placement decisions in a memory system in a computer system comprising:
routing arriving data directly into a memory system; selectively injecting the data into a processor cache; and using one of a memory controller and a processing element in the memory system, selectively driving placement of the data into a level of the memory hierarchy.
