Control device for snoop tag

摘要

To prevent a decrease in performance of controlling a snoop tag, a queue is stored with REPLACE target WAY information and an index as an entry associated with a REPLACE request received from a processor, the index stored in the queue is compared with an index of a subsequent READ request, and, as a result of the comparison, a process based on the index-coincident READ request is executed with respect to the snoop tag corresponding to a content of a cache memory of the processor. Further, the REPLACE target WAY information of the READ request is replaced with the WAY information in the index-coincident entry within the queue.
