4. Cache Organization and Coherency

4.6 Cache Algorithms and Processor Requests


The cache algorithm determines the type of processor request generated for secondary cache load misses, secondary cache store misses, and store hits.
Table 4-2 presents the relationship between the cache algorithm and processor requests.
