Read Access

Read Hit: In a read access, instructions and data are transferred from the cache to the CPU. The

LRU i

s updated to indicate that the hit way is the most recently hit way.

Read Miss: An external bus cycle starts and the entry is updated. The way to be replaced is shown

in table 6.3. Entries are updated in 16-byte units. When the desired instruction or data that caused

the miss is loaded from external memory to the cache, the instruction or data is transferred to the

CPU in parallel with being loaded to the cache. When it is loaded to the cache, the U bit is cleared

to 0 and the V bit is set to 1 to indicate that the hit way is the most recently hit way. When the U

bit for the entry which is to be replaced by entry updating in write-back mode is 1, the cache-

update cycle starts after the entry is transferred to the write-back buffer. After the cache completes

its update cycle, the write-back buffer writes the entry back to the memory. Transfer is in 16-byte

units.
