Intelligent cache and intelligent terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent cache and an intelligent terminal. The intelligent cache comprises a general interface, a software defining and reconstructing unit, a control unit, a storage unit and an intelligent processing unit, wherein the general interface is used for receiving configuration information and or control information and or data information from a kernel or a bus and returning target data; the software defining and reconstructing unit is used for defining a memory into a needed cache memory according to the configuration information; the control unit is used for controlling a reading and writing cache and performing real-time monitoring on instructions or data flows; the storage unit which is formed by a plurality of storage modules is used for caching data and combining into the needed cache memory through the storage modules according to definitions of the software defining and reconstructing unit; and the intelligent processing unit is used for processing input and output data and performing transfer, conversion and operation on the data among a plurality of structures which are defined in the control unit. According to the intelligent cache and the intelligent terminal, an efficient storage system can be achieved under flexible organization and management of the control unit and close match of the intelligent processing unit according to the running state of softwares, the characteristics of performed tasks and the characters of data structures.

Description

technical field [0001] The intelligent caching technology of the present invention particularly relates to a flexible and configurable software-defined intelligent caching using a method closely combining software and hardware, and an intelligent terminal having the above-mentioned intelligent caching. Background technique [0002] The traditional cache (Cache Memory) utilizes the temporal or spatial locality of processor program execution, by temporarily storing recently and / or frequently executed instructions and data in the Cache Memory close to the processor unit, when it is necessary to access a certain instruction or When data is accessed, the Cache Memory is accessed first. If the Cache Memory is missing (Miss), the next-level memory with a slower speed and larger storage space is accessed. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a typical cache structure, such as figure 1 As shown, since the instructions or data loaded into the Cache can only be updated in r...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent cache and intelligent terminal, which can be flexibly defined, configured and reconstructed by software for specific applications, and can solve the high complexity, high overhead, high energy consumption and delay of traditional Cache The disadvantages of unpredictability can also solve the problems of inefficient TCM data update, low flexibility of storage units, and narrow application areas
