CACHE AND CACHE BYPASS FUNCTIONAL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance functions of a cache with respect to a cache and cache bypass functional method.

SOLUTION: A cache (104) for combining a processor (102) operatively with a main memory (106) is provided. The cache includes a cache memory (108) and a cache controller (110) combined operatively with this cache memory. The cache controller is composed so as to receive a memory request to be adapted to the cache memory or the main memory. Additionally, the cache controller is composed so that at least one memory request is made to be bypassed the cache memory by processing cache activity information.
