SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTELLIGENTLY FLUSHING DATA FROM A PROCESSOR INTO A MEMORY SUBSYSTEM

摘要

system and method for flushing the data from intelligent processor cache is described. For example, the system according to an embodiment of the present invention is: a data processor having a cache is flushed - data is associated with a specific system address range; And includes a PCM memory controller for managing access to the data stored in the PCM memory device corresponding to the specific system address range, the processor determines if that is enabled for the system address range of the memory flush hints are given, and a memory flush hint If they enable for a given system address range, the processor transmits a memory flush hint in PCM memory controller of the PCM memory device, PCM memory controller determines whether to save the flushed using a memory flush hint data in the PCM memory device The
