Abstract
An apparatus comprises a cache; and control circuitry to select at least one cache access transaction to be serviced by the cache from among one or more pending cache access transactions. In response to a cache allocation transaction being selected by the control circuitry for servicing by the cache, the cache is configured to start a cache allocation process for allocating data into the cache for an address not previously having a valid entry in the cache. The control circuitry is configured to determine, based on at least one workload-dependent performance heuristic, whether to cancel a remaining part of an unfinished cache allocation process performed for a given cache allocation transaction already selected for servicing by the cache, to free up bandwidth for servicing another cache access transaction.
