Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are provided that facilitate cache miss detection in an electronic device. The system contains a probabilistic filter coupled to the processing device. A probing component determines existence of an entry associated with a request. The probing component can communicate a miss token without the need to query a cache. Accordingly, power consumption can be reduced and electronic devices can be more efficient.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A device configured for managing cache access, comprising: a probabilistic cache filter component configured for receiving a request from at least a computer processor; and a probing component configured for: determining whether the request is at least one of a read request or write request; determining whether or not the request is associated with an entry of the probabilistic cache filter, when it is determined that the request is the read request; an…
