Abstract
A method for managing memory traffic includes causing first data to be written to a data cache memory, where a first write request comprises a partial write and writes the first data to a first portion of the data cache memory, and further includes tracking the number of partial writes in the data cache memory. The method further includes issuing a fill request for one or more partial writes in the data cache memory if the number of partial writes in the data cache memory is greater than a predetermined first threshold.
