  • Lookup hint information
    Patent number: 11379377
    Abstract: First and second-level caches are provided. Cache control circuitry performs a first-level cache lookup of the first-level cache based on a lookup address, to determine whether the first-level cache stores valid cached data corresponding to the lookup address. When lookup hint information associated with the lookup address is available, the cache control circuitry determines based on the lookup hint information whether to activate or deactivate a second-level cache lookup of the second-level cache. The lookup hint information is indicative of whether the second-level cache is predicted to store valid cached data associated with the lookup address. When the second-level cache lookup is activated, the second-level cache lookup of the second-level cache is performed based on the lookup address to determine whether the second-level cache stores valid cached data corresponding to the lookup address.
