Zusammenfassung:A computing system supports a virtualization platform with dedicated cache access. The computing system is configured for usage with a memory and a cache and comprises an instruction decoder configured to decode a cache-line allocation instruction and control logic. The control logic is coupled to the instruction decoder and controls the computing system to execute a cache-line allocation instruction that loads portions of data and code regions of the memory into dedicated cache-lines of the cache which are exempted from eviction according to a cache controller replacement policy.
