Method and apparatus for optimizing cache hit ratio in non L1 caches

摘要: A method and apparatus for increasing the performance of a computing system hit ratio in at least one non-L1 cache. caching assistant processor are embedded processing system. The analyzes activity, monitors coordinates data requests from processor, processors other accessing devices, accesses throughout cache hierarchy. is provided with dedicated storing fetched prefetched data. improves by anticipating which likely to be requested next, that an appropriate prior being or devices. includes analyzing activity optimizing performs caches monitoring determine knowledge program code currently processed if patterns accession exist. Based upon gained through accession, anticipates future requests.
