◆ accessBlock()

virtual CacheBlk* BaseTags::accessBlock	(	Addr	addr,
		bool	is_secure,
		Cycles &	lat
	)

pure virtual

Access block and update replacement data.

May not succeed, in which case nullptr is returned. This has all the implications of a cache access and should only be used as such. Returns the tag lookup latency as a side effect.

Parameters

addr	The address to find.
is_secure	True if the target memory space is secure.
lat	The latency of the tag lookup.

Returns: Pointer to the cache block if found.

Implemented in FALRU, SectorTags, and BaseSetAssoc.

Referenced by BaseCache::access(), and invalidate().

◆ anyBlk()

virtual bool BaseTags::anyBlk ( std::function< bool(CacheBlk &)> visitor )

pure virtual

Find if any of the blocks satisfies a condition.

The visitor should be a std::function that takes a cache block reference as its parameter. The visitor will terminate the traversal early if the condition is satisfied.

pure virtual

Find replacement victim based on address.

If the address requires blocks to be evicted, their locations are listed for eviction. If a conventional cache is being used, the list only contains the victim. However, if using sector or compressed caches, the victim is one of the blocks to be evicted, but its location is the only one that will be assigned to the newly allocated block associated to this address.

is_secure	True if the target memory space is secure.
size	Size, in bits, of new block to allocate.
