摘要: Techniques described herein are generally related to retrieval of data in computer systems having multi-level caches. The cache may include at least a first and second cache. be configured receive request for line. associated with an instruction executing on tile the system. A suppression status determined by controller determine whether look-up is suppressed based upon status. line forwarded after suppressed.
