Abstract
A method, and a corresponding apparatus, mask error detection and correction latency during multilevel cache transfers. The method includes the steps of transferring error protection encoded data lines from a first cache, checking the error protection encoded data lines for errors, wherein the checking is completed after the transferring begins, receiving the error protection encoded data lines in a second cache, and upon detecting an error in a data line, preventing further transfer of the data line from the second cache.
