Abstract
An apparatus has decoder circuitry within a first processing element to decode instructions, in order to respond to a sequence of instructions by generating control signals. Processing circuitry within the first processing element is responsive to the control signals to perform operations defined by the sequence of instructions. The decoder circuitry is responsive to a stashee hint instruction in the sequence of instructions to issue control signals to cause the processing circuitry to issue a stash interest request via an interface used to couple the first processing element to interconnect circuitry. The stash interest request is arranged to provide a given memory address indication determined from the stashee hint instruction and to trigger stashing control circuitry accessible via the interconnect circuitry to cause updated data associated with the given memory address indication to be made available for stashing in an associated storage structure of the first processing element.
