Abstract
A cache system supports a re-sizable software-managed fast scratch pad that is implemented as a cache-slice. A processor register indicates the size and base address of the scratch pad. Instructions which facilitate use of the scratch pad include a prefetch instruction which loads multiple lines of data from external memory into the scratch pad and a writeback instruction which writes multiple lines of data from the scratch pad to external memory. The prefetch and writeback instructions are non-blocking instructions to allow instructions following in the program order to be executed while a prefetch or writeback operation is pending.
