Abstract

A data processing system includes a system memory and a cache hierarchy that caches contents of the system memory. According to one method of data processing, a storage modifying operation having a cacheable target real memory address is received. A determination is made whether or not the storage modifying operation has an associated bypass indication. In response to determining that the storage modifying operation has an associated bypass indication, the cache hierarchy is bypassed, and an update indicated by the storage modifying operation is performed in the system memory. In response to determining that the storage modifying operation does not have an associated bypass indication, the update indicated by the storage modifying operation is performed in the cache hierarchy.
