摘要: The described embodiments include a main memory and cache (or “cache”) with controller that includes mode-setting mechanism. In some embodiments, the mechanism is configured to dynamically determine an access pattern for memory. Based on determined pattern, configures at least one region of in write-back mode other regions write-through mode. these when performing write operation memory, determines whether where block from or then performs corresponding
