A method of improving memory access for a computer system, by sending load requests to a lower level storage subsystem along with associated information pertaining to intended use of the requested information by the requesting processor, without using a high level load queue. Returning the requested information to the processor along with the associated use information allows the information to be placed immediately without using reload buffers. A register load bus separate from the cache load bus (and having a smaller granularity) is used to return the information. An upper level (L1) cache may then be imprecisely reloaded (the upper level cache can also be imprecisely reloaded with store instructions). The lower level (L2) cache can monitor L1 and L2 cache activity, which can be used to select a victim cache block in the L1 cache (based on the additional L2 information), or to select a victim cache block in the L2 cache (based on the additional L1 information). L2 control of the L1 directory also allows certain snoop requests to be resolved without waiting for L1 acknowledgement. The invention can be applied to, e.g., instruction, operand data and translation caches.

The control system for an UltraCapacitor (or “SuperCapacitor) based energy storage system consists of a relay switch, a voltage up-converting device (e.g. DC-DC converter), regulated power supplies and a comparator circuit. The comparator circuit compares the storage system output voltage with a reference voltage, causing the storage system output to be diverted through a voltage up-converting device when the said voltage has declined to a threshold value (typically set by the load requirements). Wide-input range power supplies enable consistent operation of the circuit as the UltraCapacitor system output bus voltage declines. The wide-range of input allowed by the up-converting device enables the continuance of power drain from the UltraCapacitors, i.e. more efficient use of available storage capacity, while maintaining the required output voltage to the load. Efficiency is increased by direct connection of the UltaCapacitor system to the load bus until its voltage falls below stated threshold. In the case of a given 48 VDC system electric motor application, 500% more energy is extracted from the UltraCapacitor system with the stated control system than would be permitted by the load voltage requirements without such system.
