Cache partitioning is a technique to reduce interference among tasks running on the processors with shared caches. To make this technique effective, cache
As a result, if the address of the word was unaligned, it would require the processor to perform two aligned loads and then splice the results together, making the memory access more expensive. With the introduction of cache lines, the execution unit no longer fetches data from memory ...
Some versions of a cache line demote instruction receive an address (e.g., 64 byte aligned) as an input and an uncore (or system agent) registers this address and opportunistically demotes content of the cache line associated with the address to a last level cache that is accessible by mul...
