Capturing temporal store streams into CPU caches by dynamically varying store streaming thresholds

摘要

According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a store stream detector configured to detect when the apparatus is streaming data to a memory system. The apparatus may also include a write generator configured to route a stream of data to either a near memory of the memory system or a far memory of the memory system based upon a cache threshold value and a size of the stream of data. The apparatus may be configured to dynamically vary the cache threshold value based upon a predetermined rule set, such that cache pollution caused by the stream of data is managed.
