摘要： The invention sets forth a crossbar unit that includes multiple virtual channels, each virtual channel being a logical flow of data within the crossbar unit. Arbitration logic coupled to source client subsystems is configured to select a virtual channel for transmitting a data request or a data packet to a destination client subsystem based on the type of the source client subsystem and/or the type of data request. Higher priority traffic is transmitted over virtual channels that are configured to transmit data without causing deadlocks and/or stalls. Lower priority traffic is transmitted over virtual channels that can be stalled.

摘要： A method for cleaning dirty data in an intermediate cache is disclosed. A dirty data notification, including a memory address and a data class, is transmitted by a level 2 (L2) cache to frame buffer logic when dirty data is stored in the L2 cache. The data classes may include evict first, evict normal and evict last. In one embodiment, data belonging to the evict first data class is raster operations data with little reuse potential. The frame buffer logic uses a notification sorter to organize dirty data notifications, where an entry in the notification sorter stores the DRAM bank page number, a first count of cache lines that have resident dirty data and a second count of cache lines that have resident evict_first dirty data associated with that DRAM bank. The frame buffer logic transmits dirty data associated with an entry when the first count reaches a threshold.

摘要： One embodiment of the invention sets forth a mechanism for using the L2 cache as a buffer for data associated with read/write commands that are processed by the frame buffer logic. A tag look-up unit tracks the availability of each cache line in the L2 cache, reserves necessary cache lines for the read/write operations and transmits read commands to the frame buffer logic for processing. A data slice scheduler transmits a dirty data notification to the frame buffer logic when data associated with a write command is stored in an SRAM bank. The data slice scheduler schedules accesses to the SRAM banks and gives priority to accesses requested by the frame buffer logic to store or retrieve data associated with read/write commands. This feature allows cache lines reserved for read/write commands that are processed by the frame buffer logic to be made available at the earliest clock cycle.
摘要翻译：本发明的一个实施例提出了一种使用L2高速缓存作为与由帧缓冲器逻辑处理的读/写命令相关联的数据的缓冲器的机制。标签查找单元跟踪L2高速缓存中每个高速缓存行的可用性，为读/写操作预留必要的高速缓存行，并将读命令发送到帧缓冲器逻辑进行处理。当与写命令相关联的数据被存储在SRAM存储体中时，数据片调度器将脏数据通知发送到帧缓冲器逻辑。数据片调度器调度对SRAM组的访问，并且优先级由帧缓冲器逻辑请求的访问来存储或检索与读/写命令相关联的数据。该功能允许由帧缓冲器逻辑处理的读/写命令保留的高速缓存行在最早的时钟周期内可用。

摘要： One embodiment of the invention is a method for evicting data from an intermediary cache that includes the steps of receiving a command from a client, determining that there is a cache miss relative to the intermediary cache, identifying one or more cache lines within the intermediary cache to store data associated with the command, determining whether any of data residing in the one or more cache lines includes raster operations data or normal data, and causing the data residing in the one or more cache lines to be evicted or stalling the command based, at least in part, on whether the data includes raster operations data or normal data. Advantageously, the method allows a series of cache eviction policies based on how cached data is categorized and the eviction classes of the data. Consequently, more optimized eviction decisions may be made, leading to fewer command stalls and improved performance.
摘要翻译：本发明的一个实施例是一种用于从中间缓存中取出数据的方法，包括以下步骤：从客户机接收命令，确定相对于中间缓存存在高速缓存未命中，识别中间缓存内的一个或多个高速缓存行存储与所述命令相关联的数据，确定驻留在所述一个或多个高速缓存行中的数据中的任何一个是否包括光栅操作数据或正常数据，以及使驻留在所述一个或多个高速缓存行中的数据被驱逐或停止所述命令，至少部分地关于数据是否包括光栅操作数据或正常数据。有利地，该方法允许基于缓存数据被分类和数据的逐出类别的一系列缓存驱逐策略。因此，可以进行更优化的驱逐决定，导致更少的命令停顿和改进的性能。

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the number of affirmatively associated cache lines related to the different sets of a data cache unit. A tag look-up unit implements two thresholds, which may be configurable thresholds, to manage the number of cache lines related to a given set that store dirty data or are reserved for in-flight read requests. If the number of affirmatively associated cache lines in a given set is equal to a maximum threshold, the tag look-up unit stalls future requests that require an available cache line within that set to be affirmatively associated. To reduce the number of stalled requests, the tag look-up unit transmits a high priority clean notification to a frame buffer logic when the number of affirmatively associated cache lines in a given set approaches the maximum threshold. The frame buffer logic then processes requests associated with that set preemptively.
