摘要
Integrated circuits are provided which create page locality in cache controllers that allocate entries to set-associative cache, which includes data storage for a plurality of Sets of Ways. A plurality of cache controllers may be interleaved with a processor and device(s), and allocate to any pages in the cache. A cache controller may select a Way from a Set to which to allocate new entries in the set-associative cache and bias selection of the Way according to a plurality of upper address bits (or other function). These bits may be identical at the cache controller during sequential memory transactions. A processor may determine the bias centrally, and inform the cache controllers of the selected Set and Way. Other functions, algorithms or approaches may be chosen to influence bias of Way selection, such as based on analysis of metadata belonging to cache controllers used for making Way allocation selections.
