PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store data into a portion of a cache or other fast memory without also writing it to main memory. SOLUTION: A method of storing data transferred from an I/O device, a network, or a disk into a portion of the cache or other fast memory, without also writing it to the main memory is provided. Further, the data is "locked" into the cache or other fast memory until it is loaded for use. The data remains in a locking cache until it is specifically overwritten under software control. In this embodiment, a processor can write data to the cache or other fast memory without writing it also to the main memory. The portion of the cache or other fast memory can be used as additional system memory. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
