Abstract
A method includes outputting, at a processor, a command and an address to the memory module, receiving match/unmatch bits indicating results of comparing a tag corresponding to the address with tags stored in the memory module, from the memory module, determining, at the processor, a cache hit/miss from the match/unmatch bits by using majority voting, and outputting, at the processor, the determined cache hit/miss to the memory module.
