In addition, term " first ", " second " etc. are used for description purposes only, it is not understood to indicate or imply relatively important Property or implicitly indicate the quantity of indicated technical characteristic.In the description of following embodiment, the meaning of " plurality " is two More than a, unless otherwise specifically defined.
These specific embodiments can be combined with each other below, may be at certain for the same or similar concept or process It is repeated no more in a little embodiments.Below in conjunction with attached drawing, the embodiment of the present invention is described.
Embodiment one
Since I/O data have better properties of flow, I/O generally understands address and memory access access continuously occurs, that is, empty Between locality it is preferable, it means that the Cache structure being connected using multichannel group can make each group of Cache receive number The roughly the same I/O request of mesh, can be improved Cache space utilization rate;This characteristic is but also if carry out class to I/O data Also more effective like dividing by the Cache on road, the effect that the Cache than carrying out by corresponding CPU line journey is divided is more preferable, also avoids Replacement algorithm is divided using more complicated Cache such as hash index addressing.Therefore, the Cache in the embodiment of the present invention is using more The institutional framework that road group is connected.
Fig. 1 is the method flow diagram that the I/O equipment that the embodiment of the present invention one provides accesses memory.The embodiment of the present invention is directed to Due to I/O memory access diversity in existing access method, if very few for the available space of I/O data distribution in Cache, can make The Cache insufficient space of I/O, the I/O data in Cache, which are also not used by, just replaces, and causes under processor overall performance Drop is serious;If it is excessive for the available space of I/O data distribution in Cache, and will affect the performance of other programs, it can equally lead The problem of causing the decline of processor overall performance provides the method for I/O equipment access memory.Such as Fig. 1, this method specific steps It is as follows:
Step S101, I/O memory access write request is received, calculates and is written into high speed in the corresponding I/O data of I/O memory access write request The maximum hit number of CPU access request in buffer storage Cache to the period being read.
Wherein, the institutional framework that Cache uses the road W group to be connected, the n times power that W is 2, n is positive integer.
In the present embodiment, the corresponding I/O data of I/O memory access write request are written into cache memory Cache to quilt The period of reading, it is denoted as target time section.Processor can be write when receiving an I/O memory access write request in I/O memory access It requests corresponding I/O data to be written into cache memory Cache to the period being read, tracks this object time Hit situation of the CPU access request in Cache in section, exists so as to calculate CPU access request in target time section Maximum hit number in Cache.
Maximum hit number of the CPU access request in Cache can be target in target time section in the present embodiment When the cpu data in Cache is hit in other CPU line journey memory access in period, near the road of LRU position in the hit location Number, can embody other CPU line journeys to the utilization power of Cache.Wherein, LRU position refers to least recently used position, Be according to least recently used (Least Recently Used, abbreviation LRU) replacement policy, it is next to be replaced The position of Cache row.
Step S102, number is hit according to maximum, number can be used by updating I/O data in Cache, so that I/O number after updating According to the difference that can be equal to the total number of Cache and maximum hit number with number.
Be connected Cache for the road W group, if the value of the maximum hit number counted in the target time period be N (N≤ W), the cpu data if data on the road N are hit, before the road N also very maximum probability is known that according to LRU stack characteristic Had occurred and that hit;So, if being assigned to only cpu data N road Cache in target time section, hit rate not will receive It influences.Therefore, number that I/O data can use is provided as (W-N) in most conservative mode, in this way the shadow to other CPU line journeys It rings minimum.
In the present embodiment, cache memory is written into the corresponding I/O data of I/O memory access write request being calculated In Cache to the period being read after the maximum hit number of CPU access request, I/O data in Cache can be used into number The difference of the total number of Cache and maximum hit number is updated to, so that will not producing bigger effect to other CPU line journeys Under the premise of, increase I/O data can use number as far as possible, so as to improve I/O memory access under the premise of not influencing cpu performance Performance.
Step S103, number can be used according to I/O data in Cache, carries out I/O memory access processing.
The embodiment of the present invention is written into speed buffering in the corresponding I/O data of an I/O memory access write request by calculating and deposits The maximum hit number of CPU access request, hits number according to maximum, updates in reservoir Cache to the period being read I/O data can use number in Cache, so that I/O data can be equal to the total number of Cache and maximum hit number with number after updating Difference, then according to I/O data in Cache can use number, carry out I/O memory access processing, realize in real time according to CPU pairs The service condition of Cache dynamically updates the available number of I/O data in Cache, so as to dynamically adjust I/O data The space occupied in Cache, so that I/O data will not be increased to other CPU line journeys under the premise of producing bigger effect Number can be used, so as to I/O memory access performance be improved, to further improve processing under the premise of not influencing cpu performance The overall performance of device improves the space utilization rate of Cache.
Embodiment two
Fig. 2 is the method flow diagram that I/O equipment provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention accesses memory.In above-described embodiment one On the basis of, in the present embodiment, set of samples is preset, and one monitoring register is set for each set of samples, only to set of samples Memory access situation tracked and recorded, calculate and be written into cache memory in the corresponding I/O data of I/O memory access write request The maximum hit number of CPU access request in Cache to the period being read.As shown in Fig. 2, above-mentioned steps S101 specifically may be used To be realized using following steps:
Step S201, access request is received, access request is I/O memory access write request or CPU access request.
Wherein, access request carries the destination address requested access to, destination address include at least the index of Cache group with The label of Cache row.
In practical applications, the access request that processor receives at least can be I/O memory access write request, I/O memory access is read Any one in request, CPU memory access write request, CPU memory access read request, in the present embodiment, for the access request received The processing of subsequent step is carried out for the case where I/O memory access write request, CPU memory access write request or CPU memory access read request.I/O number CPU reading is write according to apparent producer consumer characteristic, that is, CPU write I/O reading or I/O.
Step S202, the index carried according to access request, determines whether the target Cache group of access request access belongs to Set of samples.
In the present embodiment, an assisted tag catalogue can be increased, assisted tag catalogue have recorded set of samples index and The label of Cache row in set of samples, in the present embodiment using assisted tag catalogue count an I/O data from write-in Cache to Utilization power of other CPU line journeys to Cache in the target time section being read.Wherein, assisted tag catalogue and in existing skill Tag directory in art in Cache has identical structure, also uses LRU replacement strategy, difference is that assisted tag catalogue only tracks The hit situation of set of samples of the CPU access request in Cache then directly neglects I/O access request, and can use in this way should Assisted tag catalogue simulates behavior of the CPU program in Cache.
Set of samples in the present embodiment is that sampling selection obtains from all Cache groups, and set of samples includes in Cache Multiple Cache groups, can be by randomly selecting to obtain.Preferably for any road in Cache, exists in set of samples and belong to In this at least one Cache group all the way, that is to say the Cache group in set of samples cover Cache per all the way, so as to So that whole memory access situation of the memory access situation of set of samples closer to Cache.In addition, the Cache group number in set of samples is got over It is more, the whole memory access situation of the memory access situation of set of samples closer to Cache.
The institutional framework that Cache in this implementation uses the road W group to be connected, the n times power that W is 2, n is positive integer.Optionally, The number of set of samples can be W, and the number of set of samples and selection mode are not specifically limited in the present embodiment.
In the step, according to the index that access request carries, determine whether the target Cache group of access request access belongs to Set of samples can specifically be realized in the following way:
The index in destination address carried according to access request, determines whether access request accesses in assisted tag catalogue Index entry;If it is determined that the index entry in access request access assisted tag catalogue, it is determined that the target of access request access Cache group belongs to set of samples;If it is determined that access request is not the index entry accessed in assisted tag catalogue, it is determined that access request The target Cache group of access is not belonging to set of samples.
In addition, the index of set of samples can also be recorded in the present embodiment, whether recorded according to the index that access request carries In the index of set of samples, to determine whether the target Cache group of access request access belongs to set of samples.
If the target Cache group of access request access belongs to set of samples, step S203 is executed, determines that access request is I/O Access request.
If the target Cache group of access request access is not belonging to set of samples, terminates, which is not tracked Processing.
Step S203, determine whether access request is I/O access request.
If access request is I/O memory access write request, thens follow the steps S204-S205 and continue to track the access request Processing.
If access request is I/O memory access read request, terminate, tracking processing is not carried out to the access request.
If access request is not I/O access request, illustrate that the access request is CPU memory access write request or CPU memory access Read request executes step S206, carries out tracking processing to the CPU access request.
If step S204, access request is I/O memory access write request, it is determined that the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group Whether unused state is in.
In the present embodiment, monitoring register at least can recorde the following contents: whether be using middle state, whether terminate, Label and number is hit.When initial, monitoring register is arranged in unused state, has terminated, label 0 has been hit Number is 0.For example, monitoring register may include following field: used, valid, tag and LHW.Wherein, used is for indicating Whether the monitoring register is in use state, namely has been whether that I/O data are being monitored, and used can be marked with one Will position, used are that " 1 " indicates to be in use state, and used is that " 0 " indicates to be in unused state;Valid indicates the monitoring Whether the corresponding monitoring process of register terminates, and the condition of end is the corresponding I/O data of label of monitoring register record Accessed, valid can also be indicated with a flag bit;Tag field is used to record the label of I/O data to be monitored;LHW Number has been hit for recording.When initial, all fields monitored in register are disposed as 0.
Optionally, a monitoring register can be added for each set of samples, or can use existing register reality The function of existing detected register.
If the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is in unused state, S205 is thened follow the steps.
If the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is in use state, terminate, which is not write and asked It asks and continues tracking processing.
Step S205, the label record for carrying I/O memory access write request is in the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group In, and be state in use by the corresponding monitoring register tagging of target Cache group.
If the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is in unused state, illustrate not tracing into this also at present The memory access behavior of target Cache group, then in this step, the label that I/O memory access write request is carried is recorded in target Cache In the corresponding monitoring register of group, the behavior of the I/O data write-in Cache of the I/O memory access write request is had recorded with this, at this time It is state in use by the corresponding monitoring register tagging of target Cache group, to start the monitoring register pair in the I/O memory access Record CPU access request asks the hit number of Cache to realize to CPU memory access before the I/O data of write request are read The tracking to the service condition of Cache is asked to handle.
Step S206, access request is CPU access request, it is determined that whether the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group It is in use state.
If the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is in use state, S207-S211 is thened follow the steps, to CPU Access request carries out subsequent tracking processing.
If the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is in unused state, illustrate not tracing into also to the mesh at present The memory access behavior for marking Cache group, then terminate, and does not carry out subsequent tracking processing to the CPU access request.
Step S207, judge whether CPU access request hits target the Cache row in Cache group.
If judging result is that CPU access request hits target the Cache row in Cache group, S208- is thened follow the steps S209 updates the hit number of monitoring register record.
If judging result is the Cache row in CPU access request target miss Cache group, S210- is thened follow the steps S211。
In the present embodiment, judge whether CPU access request hits target the Cache row in Cache group, can specifically use Following manner is realized:
The label in destination address carried according to access request, judges whether CPU access request accesses assisted tag mesh Tag entry in record;If CPU access request accesses the tag entry in assisted tag catalogue, it is determined that CPU access request hits mesh Mark the Cache row in Cache group;If CPU access request does not access the tag entry in assisted tag catalogue, it is determined that CPU memory access Request the Cache row in target miss Cache group.
In addition, the index and label of set of samples can also be recorded in the present embodiment, the index that is carried according to access request and Whether label hits the label of set of samples, to determine whether CPU access request hits target the Cache row in Cache group.
Step S208, the corresponding number of the Cache row monitoring register corresponding with target Cache group more currently hit The size for having hit number of middle record.
If the corresponding number of Cache row currently hit is less than or equal to the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group The hit number of middle record is then not necessarily to the hit number recorded in the corresponding monitoring register of more fresh target Cache group.
If the corresponding number of Cache row step S209, currently hit is greater than the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group The number of hit recorded in the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group then is updated to work as by the hit number of middle record The corresponding number of Cache row of preceding hit.
Step S210, judge whether CPU access request hits target the mark that the corresponding monitoring register of Cache group is recorded Sign corresponding Cache row.
I/O data have apparent producer consumer characteristic, that is, CPU write I/O is read or I/O writes CPU reading.If CPU access request hits target the corresponding Cache row of label that the corresponding monitoring register of Cache group is recorded, and illustrates to monitor I/O data in the corresponding Cache row of the label that register is recorded are accessed, and that is to say, this I/O data is visited by CPU Deposit request to read, then follow the steps S211, using the number of hit that records in the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group as Maximum hit number.
If the corresponding Cache of label that the corresponding monitoring register of CPU access request target miss Cache group is recorded Row, then to the tracking of the CPU access request, processing terminate.
If CPU access request hits target the corresponding Cache of label that the corresponding monitoring register of Cache group is recorded Row executes step S211.
Step S211, the number of hit recorded in the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is hit as maximum Number.
Optionally, the number of hit recorded in the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is hit into road as maximum After number, further includes:
The number of hit in the corresponding monitoring register of target Cache group is set 0;By the corresponding prison of target Cache group It surveys register and is denoted as unused state.
In addition, the number of hit recorded in monitoring register that target Cache group is corresponding hits road as maximum After number, can also by monitor register all field unsets be 0 so that the monitoring register can be used for next round with Track processing.
In the embodiment of the present invention, process flow shown in Fig. 2 is the process to carry out tracking processing to an access request For be described in detail, in the embodiment of the present invention, cyclically multiple access requests are carried out shown in Fig. 2 processed Journey, and processor normal memory access processing is parallel carries out, while not influencing processor normal memory access processing, dynamic in real time Ground calculates the corresponding I/O data of an I/O memory access write request and is written into CPU access request in Cache to the period being read Maximum hit number.
A monitoring register is arranged by presetting set of samples, and for each set of samples in the embodiment of the present invention, only right The memory access situation of set of samples is tracked and recorded, and the mode of sampling can save hardware spending, is realized and is real-time dynamicly calculated CPU in cache memory Cache to the period being read is written into the corresponding I/O data of I/O memory access write request out The maximum hit number of access request, so as to further realize the sky for dynamically adjusting I/O data and occupying in Cache Between, so that number can be used by increasing I/O data will not be to other CPU line journeys under the premise of producing bigger effect, so as to Under the premise of not influencing cpu performance, I/O memory access performance is improved, to further improve the overall performance of processor, is improved The space utilization rate of Cache.

Step S301, I/O memory access write request is received.
Step S302, judge whether I/O memory access write request hits Cache.
If I/O memory access write request hits Cache, S303 is thened follow the steps, directly by the corresponding I/O of I/O memory access write request Cache is written in data.
If I/O memory access write request miss Cache, thens follow the steps S304-S305.
If step S303, I/O memory access write request hits Cache, and the corresponding I/O data of I/O memory access write request are direct Cache is written.
If step S304, I/O memory access write request miss Cache, the target of I/O memory access write request access is calculated The number that I/O data have occupied in Cache group.
In the present embodiment, in order to distinguish I/O data and cpu data, in tag register original in Cache newly-increased two A marker, following field is included at least in improved tag register: whether type has been accessed, label.Further, The type of the data of storage can be indicated in tag register with flag flag bit, for distinguishing cpu data and I/O data, such as Flag is 1 expression I/O data, indicates cpu data for 0;It can indicate whether the data of storage have been accessed with used flag bit, Such as the used flag bit is that 1 expression has been accessed, used flag bit is that 0 expression is not visited;Tag is for record storage The corresponding label of data.
In the step, the number that I/O data have occupied in the target Cache group of I/O memory access write request access can pass through Count the number for the Cache row that flag flag bit is 1 in corresponding tag register in target Cache group.
Step S305, whether the number that I/O data have occupied in the target Cache group accessed according to I/O memory access write request Number can be used less than I/O data in Cache, it is determined whether direct cache access DCA mode is used to I/O memory access write request Carry out memory access processing.
In the present embodiment, it is according to the number that I/O data have occupied in the target Cache group of I/O memory access write request access It is no to use number less than I/O data in Cache, it is determined whether memory access processing is carried out using DCA mode to I/O memory access write request, Specifically include following several situations:
(1) if the number that I/O data have occupied in the target Cache group of I/O memory access write request access is less than I/ in Cache O data can use number, then carry out memory access processing using DCA mode to I/O memory access write request.
(2) if position to be replaced storage is the I/O data being accessed, the side DCA is used to I/O memory access write request Formula carries out memory access processing, and position to be replaced refers to according to the next Cache row that will be replaced of used replacement policy Position.
Wherein, position storage to be replaced is that the I/O data being accessed refer to: position storage to be replaced is I/O Data, and the I/O data of position to be replaced storage have been accessed.
Specifically, according to the corresponding tag register in position to be replaced, if in the corresponding tag register in position to be replaced Flag flag bit and used flag bit are 1, then can determine position storage to be replaced is the I/O data being accessed.
(3) if the number that I/O data have occupied in the target Cache group of I/O memory access write request access is greater than or equal to I/O data can use number in Cache, and position to be replaced storage is not the I/O data being accessed, then visits I/O It deposits write request and memory access processing is carried out using dma mode.
If current position storage to be replaced is not I/O data, or current position storage to be replaced I/O data not by It accessed, then can determine position storage to be replaced is not the I/O data being accessed.
Specifically, according to the corresponding tag register in position to be replaced, if in the corresponding tag register in position to be replaced Flag flag bit is 0, then can determine current position storage to be replaced is not I/O data;If the corresponding tag in position to be replaced Used flag bit in register is 0, then can determine the not visited mistake of I/O data of current position storage to be replaced;As long as Be determined that flag flag bit is 0 or has been determined that used flag bit is 0, so that it may determine position to be replaced storage be not by The I/O data accessed.
After the embodiment of the present invention is by receiving I/O memory access write request, when I/O memory access write request hits Cache, by I/ The corresponding I/O data of O memory access write request write direct Cache;In I/O memory access write request miss Cache, visited according to I/O Number can be used by depositing the number that has occupied of I/O data in the target Cache group of write request access and whether being less than I/O data in Cache, Determine whether to carry out memory access processing using direct cache access DCA mode to I/O memory access write request, improves processor Performance.
Example IV
On the basis of above-described embodiment three, in the present embodiment, I/O memory access write request is being visited using DCA mode During depositing processing, two are had occurred according to the quantity that the secondary Cache row for accessing and being just replaced does not occur and before being replaced The statistical result of the quantity of the Cache row of secondary access determines that Cache replacement policy still uses other using LRU replacement strategy Replacement policy.
Wherein, the second replacement policy is nearest most-often used (Most Recently Used, abbreviation MRU) replacement policy.
Preferably due to it is continuous using the destination address of the I/O write request of DCA mode, and I/O data are only by CPU It reads using primary, the second replacement policy are as follows: after the I/O data in Cache row are accessed once, which is made It is subsequent when target data is written into Cache preferentially to replace position, preferential replacement position preferentially is written into target data.
In the present embodiment, due to not knowing the behavior of I/O data initially, the conduct of LRU replacement strategy is initially used Cache replacement policy;Secondary visit has occurred to the quantity that the secondary Cache row for accessing and being just replaced does not occur and before being replaced First difference of the quantity for the Cache row asked is counted;When the first difference is equal to or more than the first preset threshold, if not The quantity that the secondary Cache row for accessing and being just replaced occurs is greater than the number that the Cache row of secondary access has occurred before being replaced Amount, then be updated to the second replacement policy for Cache replacement policy.
It is alternatively possible to which one N saturated counters are arranged, initial value is full 0.Where an I/O data When Cache row is replaced, if until replacement secondary access does not all occur for the I/O data, saturated counters add 1;As an I/O When Cache row where data is by secondary access, saturated counters subtract 1;When saturated counters become complete 1, by I/O data Cache replacement policy is changed to the second replacement policy.
Wherein, when saturated counters initial value is all 1, saturated counters count number is equal to the first preset threshold.First is pre- If threshold value can be set according to actual needs by technical staff, the present embodiment is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
Further, the improved tag register of embodiment three can also be utilized, used flag bit is extended to 2, it is low Position is for indicating whether to be accessed, and a high position is for indicating whether that secondary access occurs, the high position when back-call occurs 1.When being counted, when the Cache row (the flag flag bit of corresponding tag register is 1) where an I/O data is replaced When changing, if a high position for used flag bit is 0, illustrate that until being replaced secondary visit did not occurred for the I/O data in Cache row It asks, then saturated counters add 1;When the Cache row where an I/O data (the flag flag bit of corresponding tag register is 1) When accessed, if a used flag bit high position is 0, low level 1 then illustrates that the I/O data in the Cache row have been accessed one Secondary, then the mark position used is 11, illustrates that the I/O data in Cache row are accessed twice at this time, the value of saturated counters Subtract 1.
Optionally, can also to the secondary quantity (being denoted as the first quantity) of Cache row for accessing and being just replaced does not occur, and The quantity (being denoted as the second quantity) that the Cache row of secondary access has occurred before being replaced is counted respectively, real-time counting The difference of first quantity and the second quantity obtains the first difference, by comparing the size of the first difference and the first preset threshold;? When first difference is equal to or more than the first preset threshold, if the first quantity is greater than the second quantity, more by Cache replacement policy It is newly the second replacement policy.
In the present embodiment, it is changed to LRU replacement strategy for how to be replaced by the second replacement, then needs to preset auxiliary Tag directory, the corresponding Cache replacement policy of assisted tag catalogue use always LRU replacement strategy.In the assisted tag catalogue Cache replacement policy be always maintained at LRU replacement strategy, other field definitions are consistent completely with the tag in Cache.
After Cache replacement policy is updated to the second replacement policy, further includes:
After Cache replacement policy is updated to the second replacement policy, assisted tag catalogue is tracked, and is being tracked In the process to not occurring secondary to access the quantity of Cache row label being just replaced and secondary access has occurred before being replaced Second difference of the quantity of Cache row label is counted;When the second difference is equal to or more than the second preset threshold, if right The quantity that the secondary Cache row label for accessing and being just replaced does not occur is less than the Cache that secondary access has occurred before being replaced Cache replacement policy is then updated to LRU replacement strategy by the quantity of row label.
Wherein, during tracking to not occurring secondary to access the quantity of Cache row label being just replaced and replaced The mode that the second difference of the quantity of the Cache row label of secondary access is counted has occurred before changing, can using with it is aforementioned The counting mode of first difference is consistent, and details are not described herein again for the present embodiment.
For example, it is also possible to tracked using saturated counters to the assisted tag catalogue, when by Cache replacement policy more When being newly LRU replacement strategy, the value of saturated counters is complete 1, the condition of saturated counters increase and decrease and the meter of aforementioned first difference It is consistent during number, when the value of saturated counters becomes full 0, Cache replacement policy is changed to LRU replacement strategy.
In order to reduce hardware spending, equally by the way of sampling, assisted tag catalogue has recorded the assisted tag catalogue The label of Cache row in the index and set of samples of set of samples, be only arranged a limited number of group of set of samples can reach it is higher accurate Degree.
In addition, memory address can generally be organized as the three-dimensional structure of heap address, row address and column address, due to its physics Characteristic, the same row address efficiency highest of connected reference can be very good the row conflict for reducing memory, and externally performance is exactly continuously The read-write memory bandwidth of location is higher, postpones also smaller.When High Speed I/O carries out memory access using dma mode, due to I/O data Continuity can make full use of this advantage;But when using DCA mode, how then to be divided using this advantage Analysis optimization.
Strategy to be write to be generally divided into write through and write back two ways, write through mode is exactly when writing Cache while to write memory, The mode of writing back is only just to write memory when Cache replacement.In order to reduce frequent memory read-write, Modern microprocessor is mostly adopted With the mode write back, this is not that cpu data that is very strong and being used repeatedly is suitable for spatial locality.But if Same mode is used for I/O data, DCA mode bring benefit may be will be greatly reduced.
Due to continuous using the I/O write request address of DCA mode, and I/O data are only read by CPU and use once, Due to the filterability of Cache, the opportunity that the I/O data that difference organizes interior continuation address are replaced might not be continuous, this is resulted in The writing of original continuation address is divided into writing for many different addresses, these write requests are written back into memory in different times, Cause the serious row conflict of memory.And if will write Cache's using the I/O write request of DCA mode using write through mode Memory is also written simultaneously, since write operation can't then occur for the data, can directly be deleted from Cache when replacing Without being written back memory, memory access efficiency is substantially increased.
In the present embodiment, optionally, when carrying out memory access processing using DCA mode, when using LRU replacement strategy, adopt Memory access processing is carried out to I/O memory access write request with the mode that writes back;When using the second replacement policy, using through mode to I/O Memory access write request carries out memory access processing.
The embodiment of the present invention is during carrying out memory access processing using DCA mode to I/O memory access write request, according to not sending out The raw secondary quantity for accessing the Cache row being just replaced and the quantity for the Cache row that secondary access has occurred before being replaced Statistical result determines that Cache replacement policy still uses other replacement policies using LRU replacement strategy, realizes Cache replacement The switching at runtime of strategy, and memory mode is write using different for different Cache replacement policies is corresponding, it substantially increases Memory access efficiency, to improve the overall performance of processor.
