Data processing device having selective data cache architecture and computer system including the same

摘要

The disclosure is a data processing device with selective data cache architecture and a computer system including the data processing device. The data processing device is comprised of a microprocessor, a coprocessor, a microprocessor data cache, an X-data cache, and a Y-data cache. The microprocessor fetches and executes instructions, and the coprocessor carries out digital signal processing functions. The microprocessor data cache stores data provided from the microprocessor. The X-data cache stores a first group of data provided from the coprocessor while the Y-data cache stores a second group of data provided from the coprocessor.
