8.3.4
Write Operation (Only for Operand Cache)
(1) Write
Hit
In a write access in write-back mode, the data is written to the cache and no external memory
write cycle is issued. The U bit of the entry written is set to 1 and LRU is updated so that the hit
way becomes the latest.
In write-through mode, the data is written to the cache and an external memory write cycle is
issued. The U bit of the written entry is not updated and LRU is updated so that the replaced way
becomes the latest.
(2) Write
Miss
In write-back mode, an external bus cycle starts when a write miss occurs, and the entry is
updated. The way to be replaced follows table 8.4. When the U bit of the entry to be replaced is 1,
the cache update cycle starts after the entry is transferred to the write-back buffer. Data is written
to the cache, the U bit is set to 1, and the V bit is set to 1. LRU is updated so that the replaced way
becomes the latest. After the cache completes its update cycle, the write-back buffer writes the
entry back to the memory. The write-back unit is 16 bytes.
In write-through mode, no write to cache occurs in a write miss; the write is only to the external
memory.
8.3.5 Write-Back
Buffer
(Only for Operand Cache)
When the U bit of the entry to be replaced in the write-back mode is 1, it must be written back to
the external memory. To increase performance, the entry to be replaced is first transferred to the
write-back buffer and fetching of new entries to the cache takes priority over writing back to the
external memory. After the cache completes to fetch the new entry, the write-back buffer writes
the entry back to external memory. During the write-back cycles, the cache can be accessed. The
write-back buffer can hold one line of cache data (16 bytes) and its physical address. Figure 8.3
shows the configuration of the write-back buffer.
