Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CoherenceBits

enum CacheBlk::CoherenceBits : unsigned

Cache block's enum listing the supported coherence bits.

The valid bit is not defined here because it is part of a TaggedEntry.

Enumerator
WritableBit	write permission
ReadableBit	Read permission. Note that a block can be valid but not readable if there is an outstanding write upgrade miss.
DirtyBit	dirty (modified)
AllBits	Helper enum value that includes all other bits. Whenever a new bits is added, this should be updated.

inlinevirtual

Move assignment operator.

This should only be used to move an existing valid entry into an invalid one, not to create a new entry. In the end the valid entry will become invalid, and the invalid, valid. All location related variables will remain the same, that is, an entry cannot move its data, just its metadata contents.

Returns: string with basic state information

state M O E S I writable 1 0 1 0 0 dirty 1 1 0 0 0 valid 1 1 1 1 0

state writable dirty valid M 1 1 1 O 0 1 1 E 1 0 1 S 0 0 1 I 0 0 0

Note that only one cache ever has a block in Modified or Owned state, i.e., only one cache owns the block, or equivalently has the DirtyBit bit set. However, multiple caches on the same path to memory can have a block in the Exclusive state (despite the name). Exclusive means this cache has the only copy at this level of the hierarchy, i.e., there may be copies in caches above this cache (in various states), but there are no peers that have copies on this branch of the hierarchy, and no caches at or above this level on any other branch have copies either.
