摘要： A data processing system includes a processor core supported by upper and lower level caches. In response to executing a deallocate instruction in the processor core, a deallocation request is sent from the processor core to the lower level cache, the deallocation request specifying a target address associated with a target cache line. In response to receipt of the deallocation request at the lower level cache, a determination is made if the target address hits in the lower level cache. In response to determining that the target address hits in the lower level cache, the target cache line is retained in a data array of the lower level cache and a replacement order field in a directory of the lower level cache is updated such that the target cache line is more likely to be evicted from the lower level cache in response to a subsequent cache miss.

摘要： In response to a memory access request of a processor core that targets a target cache line, the lower level cache of a vertical cache hierarchy associated with the processor core supplies a copy of the target cache line to an upper level cache in the vertical cache hierarchy and retains a copy in a shared coherence state. The upper level cache holds the copy of the target cache line in a private shared ownership coherence state indicating that each cached copy of the target memory block is cached within the vertical cache hierarchy associated with the processor core. In response to the upper level cache signaling replacement of the copy of the target cache line in the private shared ownership coherence state, the lower level cache updates its copy of the target cache line to the exclusive ownership coherence state without coherency messaging with other vertical cache hierarchies.

摘要： An LBIST captures pseudo-random values from a pseudo-random pattern generator. Next, the LBIST stabilizes an untimed logic path by inputting the captured pseudo-random value into the untimed logic path. In turn, the LBIST tests one or more timed signal transitions that are dependent upon the stabilized untimed logic path.

摘要： A processing unit for a data processing system includes a processor core having one or more execution units for processing instructions and a register file for storing data accessed in processing of the instructions. The processing unit also includes a multi-level cache hierarchy coupled to and supporting the processor core. The multi-level cache hierarchy includes at least one upper level of cache memory having a lower access latency and at least one lower level of cache memory having a higher access latency. The lower level of cache memory, responsive to receipt of a memory access request that hits only a partial cache line in the lower level cache memory, sources the partial cache line to the at least one upper level cache memory to service the memory access request. The at least one upper level cache memory services the memory access request without caching the partial cache line.

摘要： In response to a data request of a first of a plurality of processing units, the first processing unit selects a victim cache line to be castout from the lower level cache of the first processing unit and determines whether a mode is set. If not, the first processing unit issues on the interconnect fabric an LCO command identifying the victim cache line and indicating that a lower level cache is the intended destination. If the mode is set, the first processing unit issues a castout command with an alternative intended destination. In response to a coherence response to the LCO command indicating success of the LCO command, the first processing unit removes the victim cache line from its lower level cache, and the victim cache line is held elsewhere in the data processing system. The mode can be set to inhibit castouts to system memory, for example, for testing.
摘要翻译：响应于多个处理单元中的第一处理单元的数据请求，第一处理单元从第一处理单元的较低级高速缓存中选择要丢弃的牺牲高速缓存行，并且确定是否设置了模式。如果不是，则第一处理单元在互连结构上发出识别受害者高速缓存行的LCO命令，并指示较低级别的高速缓存是预期的目的地。如果模式被设置，则第一处理单元发出具有替代预定目的地的停顿命令。响应于指示LCO命令成功的LCO命令的一致性响应，第一处理单元从其较低级高速缓存中去除受害者高速缓存行，并且将受害者高速缓存行保持在数据处理系统的其他地方。该模式可以设置为抑制系统内存的丢弃，例如进行测试。

摘要： A data processing system includes a processor core having an associated upper level cache and a lower level victim cache. In response to a memory access request of the processor core, the lower level cache victim determines whether the memory access request hits or misses in the directory of the lower level victim cache, and the upper level cache determines whether a castout from the upper level cache is to be performed and selects a victim coherency granule for eviction from the upper level cache. In response to determining that a castout from the upper level cache is to be performed, the upper level cache evicts the selected victim coherency granule. In the eviction, the upper level cache reads out the victim coherency granule from the data array of the upper level cache only in response to an indication that the memory access request misses in the directory of the lower level victim cache.

摘要： Private devices are implemented on the secondary interface of PCI bridge by re-routing the activation of device select signals (IDSEL) during the address phase of a Type 0 configuration operation on the secondary bus in response to a Type 1 configuration operation on its primary bus. Under control of a mask register and device select reroute circuit, if a configuration command on the primary interface attempts to activate the IDSEL line associated with one of the private, or reroute, devices on the secondary interface, a different IDSEL is activated to select a monitoring device on the secondary interface.

摘要： A victim cache line having a data-invalid coherence state is selected for castout from a first lower level cache of a first processing unit. The first processing unit issues on an interconnect fabric a lateral castout (LCO) command identifying the victim cache line to be castout from the first lower level cache, indicating the data-invalid coherence state, and indicating that a lower level cache is an intended destination of the victim cache line. In response to a coherence response to the LCO command indicating success of the LCO command, the victim cache line is removed from the first lower level cache and held in a second lower level cache of a second processing unit in the data-invalid coherence state.

摘要： In response to executing a deallocate instruction, a deallocation request specifying a target address of a target cache line is sent from a processor core to a lower level cache. In response, a determination is made if the target address hits in the lower level cache. If so, the target cache line is retained in a data array of the lower level cache, and a replacement order field of the lower level cache is updated such that the target cache line is more likely to be evicted in response to a subsequent cache miss in a congruence class including the target cache line. In response to the subsequent cache miss, the target cache line is cast out to the lower level cache with an indication that the target cache line was a target of a previous deallocation request of the processor core.
