  2. Cache invalidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_invalidation

    Cache invalidation is a process in a computer system whereby entries in a cache are replaced or removed.. It can be done explicitly, as part of a cache coherence protocol. In such a case, a processor changes a memory location and then invalidates the cached values of that memory location across the rest of the computer system.

  3. Cache coherency protocols (examples) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_coherency_protocols...

    The Hover (H) state allows a cache line to maintain an address Tag in the directory even though the corresponding value in the cache entry is an invalid copy. If the correspondent value happens on the bus (address Tag matching) due a valid "Read" or "Write" operation, the entry is updated with a valid copy and its state is changed in S .

  4. Cache coherence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_coherence

    Cache coherence is the discipline which ensures that the changes in the values of shared operands (data) are propagated throughout the system in a timely fashion. [2] The following are the requirements for cache coherence: [3] Write Propagation Changes to the data in any cache must be propagated to other copies (of that cache line) in the peer ...

  5. Cache replacement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies

    In computing, cache replacement policies (also known as cache replacement algorithms or cache algorithms) are optimizing instructions or algorithms which a computer program or hardware-maintained structure can utilize to manage a cache of information. Caching improves performance by keeping recent or often-used data items in memory locations ...

  6. Gradle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradle

    Gradle offers support for all phases of a build process including compilation, verification, dependency resolving, test execution, source code generation, packaging and publishing. Because Gradle follows a convention over configuration approach, it is possible to describe all of these build phases in short configuration files.

  7. MESI protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MESI_protocol

    MESI in its naive, straightforward implementation exhibits two particular performance issues. First, when writing to an invalid cache line, there is a long delay while the line is fetched from other CPUs. Second, moving cache lines to the invalid state is time-consuming. To mitigate these delays, CPUs implement store buffers and invalidate ...

  8. Cache control instruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_control_instruction

    Cache control instructions are specific to a certain cache line size, which in practice may vary between generations of processors in the same architectural family. Caches may also help coalescing reads and writes from less predictable access patterns (e.g., during texture mapping ), whilst scratchpad DMA requires reworking algorithms for more ...

  9. Write-once (cache coherence) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-once_(cache_coherence)

    This is a variant of the MESI protocol, but there is no explicit read-for-ownership or broadcast invalidate operation to bring a line into cache in the Exclusive state without performing a main memory write. Instead, the first write to a Valid (a.k.a. Shared) cache line performs a write through to memory, which implicitly invalidates other caches.
