Title: Cache stashing in a data processing system
Inventor: ROBERT GWILYM DIMOND
IPC: G06F15/163
Filed: 2017-10-12
Abstract: A data processing system has a number of data processing agents, 152, 170. The agents may be tasks running on processors 154, 156. When an agent sends a message to another agent, it is also sent to a cache stashing unit 162. The unit identifies data in the shared memory 168 which the receiving agent needs to process the message. It then pre-fetches the data into the cache 158 of the processor 154 running the receiving agent 170. A scheduler may produce task scheduling information 164 identifying which agents are running on which processors. This is used by the unit to identify the correct cache and by a message router 166 to send the message to the correct processor. The unit may be configured with the cache level, cache state or coherency protocol state for the data. The data for the message may be part of the message or may be indicated by a pointer in the message.
