Abstract
A processor includes a first cache memory and a bus unit in some embodiments. The bus unit includes a plurality of buffers and is operable to allocate a selected buffer of a plurality of buffers for a fill request associated with a first cache line to be stored in a first cache memory, load fill data from the first cache line into the selected buffer, and transfer the fill data to the first cache memory in parallel with storing eviction data for an evicted cache line from the first cache memory in the selected buffer.
