Sectored cache with a tag structure capable of tracking sectors of data stored for a particular cache way

摘要

Technologies are generally described for a system for copying particular data in a particular sector of a particular block from a memory into a cache, in some examples, the cache includes a tag array and a data array. In some examples, a processor may be adapted to copy data in the particular sector from the memory into a way of the data array starling at a start sector. In some examples, the processor may be adapted to update the tag array to identify the particular sector. In some examples, the processor may be adapted to update the tag array to identify the way in the data array, in some examples, the processor may be adapted to update the tag array to identify the start sector.
