Improving Performance of a Processor Having a Defective Cache

摘要

In one embodiment, a method for improving performance of a processor having a defective cache includes accessing first object code and generating second object code from the first object code. The generation of the second object code takes into account one or more locations of one or more defects in a cache on a processor such that one or more instructions in the second object code are written only to nondefective locations in the cache.
