摘要: A system and method is provided to selectively flush data from cache memory a main irrespective of the replacement algorithm that used manage data. According one aspect invention, novel “page flush” “cache line instructions are page data, respectively, memory. In embodiment, these included within hardware instruction set an Instruction Processor (IP). another operations initiated using background interface interconnects IP with its associated primary also simultaneously issue higher-priority requests so processor throughput increased.
