Abstract
A computing system comprising: a cache, comprising a virtual tag storage and a physical tag storage, where each cache line is identified for load operations by a virtual tag and for store operations by a physical tag; a cache access controller; a snoop access circuitry; and a miss controller; wherein, in response to receiving a load operation comprising a virtual address, the cache access controller: accesses the cache to perform the load operation comprising looking up a virtual tag computed using the virtual address; and upon failing to identify the virtual tag value in the virtual tag storage, provides the load operation to the miss controller; and wherein the miss controller in response to receiving the load operation from the access controller, initiates an aliasing snoop to the cache by the snoop access circuitry, the aliasing snoop comprising looking up a physical tag computed using a corresponding physical address.
