Abstract
A cache and a method for operating a cache are disclosed. In an embodiment, the cache includes a cache controller, data cache and a delay write through cache (DWTC), wherein the data cache is separate and distinct from the DWTC, wherein cacheable write accesses are split into shareable cacheable write accesses and non-shareable cacheable write accesses, wherein the cacheable shareable write accesses are allocated only to the DWTC, and wherein the non-shareable cacheable write accesses are not allocated to the DWTC.
