  • Publication number: 20090063775
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method for a cache partitioning technique for application tasks based on the scheduling information in multiprocessors. Cache partitioning is performed dynamically based on the information of the pattern of task scheduling provided by the task scheduler (405). Execution behavior of the application tasks is obtained from the task scheduler (405) and partitions are allocated (415) to only a subset of application tasks, which are going to be executed in the upcoming clock cycles. The present invention will improve the cache utilization by avoiding unnecessary reservation of the cache partitions for the executing application tasks during the entire duration of their execution and hence an effective utilization of the cache is achieved.
