发明名称 RESOURCE SHARING TO REDUCE IMPLEMENTATION COSTS IN A MULTICORE PROCESSOR
摘要 A processor may include several processor cores, each including a respective higher-level cache; a lower-level cache including several tag units each including several controllers, where each controller corresponds to a respective cache bank configured to store data, and where the controllers are concurrently operable to access their respective cache banks; and an interconnect network configured to convey data between the cores and the lower-level cache. The controllers in a given tag unit may share access to a resource that may include one or more of an interconnect egress port coupled to the interconnect network, an interconnect ingress port coupled to the interconnect network, a test controller, or a data storage structure.
