  • Patent number: 11768686
    Abstract: In a streaming cache, multiple, dynamically sized tracking queues are employed. Request tracking information is distributed among the plural tracking queues to selectively enable out-of-order memory request returns. A dynamically controlled policy assigns pending requests to tracking queues, providing for example in-order memory returns in some contexts and/or for some traffic and out of order memory returns in other contexts and/or for other traffic.

  • Patent number: 11347668
    Abstract: A unified cache subsystem includes a data memory configured as both a shared memory and a local cache memory. The unified cache subsystem processes different types of memory transactions using different data pathways. To process memory transactions that target shared memory, the unified cache subsystem includes a direct pathway to the data memory. To process memory transactions that do not target shared memory, the unified cache subsystem includes a tag processing pipeline configured to identify cache hits and cache misses. When the tag processing pipeline identifies a cache hit for a given memory transaction, the transaction is rerouted to the direct pathway to data memory. When the tag processing pipeline identifies a cache miss for a given memory transaction, the transaction is pushed into a first-in first-out (FIFO) until miss data is returned from external memory. The tag processing pipeline is also configured to process texture-oriented memory transactions.
