  • System and method for the recovery of lost cache capacity due to defective cores in a multi-core chip
    Patent number: 7512837
    Abstract: A method for recovering lost cache capacity in a multi core chip having at least one defective core including identifying the cores contained in the chip that are viable cores and identifying at least one core contained in the chip that is defective. The method also includes identifying the cache memory local to the defective core and determining a redistribution of the cache resources local to the at least one defective core among the viable cores. The method also features dividing the cache memory local to the at least one defective core according to the redistribution determination and determining the address information associated with the cache memory local to the at least one defective core. The method also features providing the address information associated with the cache memory associated with the defective core to at least one of the viable cores, facilitating the supplementation of the cache memory local to the viable cores with the cache memory associated with the defective core.
