摘要:The invention relates to cache apparatuses and a control method for managingcache memories in a multiprocessor system. A cache controller holds data which has tobe invalidated for a cache coherence as data in a status where the validity is unknown,
causes a cache hit in response to a reading request from a processor, provides the dataas speculation data, and allows the processor to speculatively process the data.
Therefore, since the data which has to be obtained from another cache or a main storagedue to the invalidation is held in an Unknown status, a cache hit occurs. Thus, a datawaiting time of the processor can be shortened.
