USING A PREDETERMINED BIT TO REPRESENT A PREDETERMINED PATTERN IN A CACHE LINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202117 titled 'USING A PREDETERMINED BIT TO REPRESENT A PREDETERMINED PATTERN IN A CACHE LINE

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method that involves setting a bit in a directory instead of writing a predetermined pattern to a cache line.

  • Method involves setting a bit in a directory instead of writing a pattern to a cache line
  • The bit is associated with the cache line in the directory
  • Computer program product includes program instructions for the method
  • System includes a processor and logic for executing the method

Potential Applications: - Improving cache management efficiency - Enhancing data storage and retrieval processes - Optimizing memory usage in computer systems

Problems Solved: - Reducing unnecessary data writes to cache - Minimizing cache line contention - Enhancing overall system performance

Benefits: - Increased system speed and efficiency - Reduced memory access latency - Improved overall system reliability

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Cache Management Technology for Improved System Performance" This technology can be applied in various industries such as: - Computer hardware manufacturing - Data centers - Cloud computing services

Questions about the technology: 1. How does setting a bit in a directory improve cache management efficiency? Setting a bit in a directory allows for better control over data storage and retrieval processes, reducing unnecessary data writes to cache.

2. What are the potential implications of this technology in terms of system performance? Implementing this technology can lead to increased system speed, reduced memory access latency, and improved overall system reliability.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes determining that a first predetermined pattern is to be written to a first cache line of a cache. in response to the determination, a first bit is set in a first directory instead of writing the first predetermined pattern in the first cache line. the first bit is associated with the first cache line in the first directory. a computer program product, according to another embodiment, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. the program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. a system, according to another embodiment, includes a processor, and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. the logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.
