Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments provide a technique in which a memory controller determines whether a fetch address is a miss in an L1 cache and, when a miss occurs, allocates a way of the L1 cache, determines whether the allocated way matches a scoreboard entry of pending service requests, and, when such a match is found, determine whether a request address of the matching scoreboard entry matches the fetch address. When the matching scoreboard entry also has a request address matching the fetch address, the scoreboard entry is modified to a demand request.

Claim (Index 12):
The data processing apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein each entry in the scoreboard further includes a request identifier, and wherein the first memory controller has a second input to receive a cache service return from the second memory controller, the first memory controller being further configured to:\n identify an entry in the scoreboard having a request identifier that matches a request identifier of the cache service return; determine whether the demand/pre-fetch indicator of the entry in the scoreboard that has a request identifier that matches the request identifier of the cache service return indicates that the entry is a demand request; and when the entry in the scoreboard that has a request identifier that matches the request identifier of the cache service return is a demand request, forward the cache service return directly to the processing core.
