Abstract
An apparatus has cache data storage, and tagged-data prediction circuitry to generate a tagged-data prediction in response to a streaming-write request requesting that write data corresponding to a target address which missed in a previous level of cache is written to the cache data storage for the given level of cache without being allocated into the previous level of cache. The tagged-data prediction is indicative of whether a target cache data entry corresponding to the target address of the streaming-write request is predicted to be a tagged cache data entry that stores cached data associated with the target address and a valid memory safety check tag corresponding to the target address, or an untagged cache data entry that stores the cached data but does not store a valid memory safety check tag. Cache access scheduling circuitry selects, based on the tagged-data prediction generated by the tagged-data prediction circuitry for the streaming-write request, how to schedule access to the cache data storage in response to the streaming-write request.
