Text of the page (random words):
ated the advantages of two level cache models the concept of multi level caches caught on as a new and generally better model of cache memories since 2000 multi level cache models have received widespread attention and are currently implemented in many systems such as the three level caches that are present in intel s core i7 products 8 multi level cache edit accessing main memory for each instruction execution may result in slow processing with the clock speed depending on the time required to find and fetch the data in order to hide this memory latency from the processor data caching is used 9 whenever the data is required by the processor it is fetched from the main memory and stored in the smaller memory structure called a cache if there is any further need of that data the cache is searched first before going to the main memory 10 this structure resides closer to the processor in terms of the time taken to search and fetch data with respect to the main memory 11 the advantages of using cache can be proven by calculating the average access time aat for the memory hierarchy with and without the cache 12 average access time aat edit caches being small in size may result in frequent misses when a search of the cache does not provide the sought after information resulting in a call to main memory to fetch data hence the aat is affected by the miss rate of each structure from which it searches for the data 13 aat hit time miss rate miss penalty displaystyle text aat text hit time text miss rate times text miss penalty aat for main memory is given by hit time main memory aat for caches can be given by hit time cache miss rate cache miss penalty time taken to go to main memory after missing cache further explanation needed the hit time for caches is less than the hit time for the main memory so the aat for data retrieval is significantly lower when accessing data through the cache rather than main memory 14 trade offs edit while using the cache may improve memory latency it may not always result in the required improvement for the time taken to fetch data due to the way caches are organized and traversed for example direct mapped caches that are the same size usually have a higher miss rate than fully associative caches this may also depend on the benchmark of the computer testing the processor and on the pattern of instructions but using a fully associative cache may result in more power consumption as it has to search the whole cache every time due to this the trade off between power consumption and associated heat and the size of the cache becomes critical in the cache design 13 evolution edit cache hierarchy for up to l3 level of cache and main memory with on chip l1 in the case of a cache miss the purpose of using such a structure will be rendered useless and the computer will have to go to the main memory to fetch the required data however with a multiple level cache if the computer misses the cache closest to the processor level one cache or l1 it will then search through the next closest level s of cache and go to main memory only if these methods fail the general trend is to keep the l1 cache small and at a distance of 1 2 cpu clock cycles from the processor with the lower levels of caches increasing in size to store more data than l1 hence being more distant but with a lower miss rate this results in a better aat 15 the number of cache levels can be designed by architects according to their requirements after checking for trade offs between cost aats and size 16 17 performance gains edit with the technology scaling that allowed memory systems able to be accommodated on a single chip most modern day processors have up to three or four cache levels 18 the reduction in the aat can be understood by this example where the computer checks aat for different configurations up to l3 caches example main memory 50 ns l1 1 ns with 10 miss rate l2 5 ns with1 miss rate l3 10 ns with 0 2 miss rate no cache aat 50 ns l1 cache aat 1 ns 0 1 50 ns 6 ns l1 2 caches aat 1 ns 0 1 5 ns 0 01 50 ns 1 55 ns l1 3 caches aat 1 ns 0 1 5 ns 0 01 10 ns 0 002 50 ns 1 5101 ns disadvantages edit cache memory comes at an increased marginal cost than main memory and thus can increase the cost of the overall system 19 cached data is stored only so long as power is provided to the cache increased on chip area required for memory system 20 benefits may be minimized or eliminated in the case of a large programs with poor temporal locality which frequently access the main memory 21 properties edit cache organization with l1 as separate and l2 as unified banked versus unified edit in a banked cache the cache is divided into a cache dedicated to instruction storage and a cache dedicated to data in contrast a unified cache contains both the instructions and data in the same cache 22 during a process the l1 cache or most upper level cache in relation to its connection to the processor is accessed by the processor to retrieve both instructions and data requiring both actions to be implemented at the same time requires multiple ports and more access time in a unified cache having multiple ports requires additional hardware and wiring leading to a significant structure between the caches and processing units 23 to avoid this the l1 cache is often organized as a banked cache which results in fewer ports less hardware and generally lower access times 13 modern processors have split caches and in systems with multilevel caches higher level caches may be unified while lower levels split 24 inclusion policies edit inclusive cache organization whether a block present in the upper cache layer can also be present in the lower cache level is governed by the memory system s inclusion policy which may be inclusive exclusive or non inclusive non exclusive nine 25 with an inclusive policy all the blocks present in the upper level cache have to be present in the lower level cache as well each upper level cache component is a subset of the lower level cache component in this case since there is a duplication of blocks there is some wastage of memory however checking is faster 25 under an exclusive policy all the cache hierarchy components are completely exclusive so that any element in the upper level cache will not be present in any of the lower cache components this enables complete usage of the cache memory however there is a high memory access latency 26 the above policies require a set of rules to be followed in order to implement them if none of these are forced the resulting inclusion policy is called non inclusive non exclusive nine this means that the upper level cache may or may not be present in the lower level cache 21 write policies edit there are two policies which define the way in which a modified cache block will be updated in the main memory write through and write back 25 in the case of write through policy whenever the value of the cache block changes it is further modified in the lower level memory hierarchy as well 27 this policy ensures that the data is stored safely as it is written throughout the hierarchy however in the case of the write back policy the changed cache block will be updated in the lower level hierarchy only when the cache block is evicted a dirty bit is attached to each cache block and set whenever the cache block is modified 28 during eviction blocks with a set dirty bit will be written to the lower level hierarchy under this policy there is a risk for data loss as the most recently changed copy of a datum is only stored in the cache and therefore some corrective techniques must be observed in case of a write where the byte is not present in the cache block the byte may be brought to the cache as determined by a write allocate or write no allocate policy 25 write allocate policy states that in case of a write miss the block is fetched from the main memory and placed in the cache before writing 29 in the write no allocate policy if the block is missed in the cache it will write in the lower level memory hierarchy without fetching the block into the cache 30 the common combinations of the policies are write block write allocate and write through write no allocate shared versus private edit cache organization with l1 private and l2 and l3 shared a private cache is assigned to one particular core in a processor and cannot be accessed by any other cores in some architectures each core has its own private cache this creates the risk of duplicate blocks in a system s cache architecture which results in reduced capacity utilization however this type of design choice in a multi layer cache architecture can also be good for a lower data access latency 25 31 32 a shared cache is a cache which can be accessed by multiple cores 33 since it is shared each block in the cache is unique and therefore has a larger hit rate as there will be no duplicate blocks however data access latency can increase as multiple cores try to access the same cache 34 in multi core processors the design choice to make a cache shared or private impacts the performance of the processor 35 in practice the upper level cache l1 or sometimes l2 36 37 is implemented as private and lower level caches are implemented as shared this design provides high access rates for the high level caches and low miss rates for the lower level caches 35 recent implementation models edit cache organization of intel nehalem microarchitecture 38 intel broadwell microarchitecture 2014 edit l1 cache
