| Zusammenfassung: | Program instructions permit software management of a processor cache. The program instructions may permit a software designer to provide software deallocation hints identifying data that is not likely to be used during further program execution. The program instructions may permit a processor to evict the identified data from a cache ahead of other eviction candidates that are likely to be used during further program execution. Thus, these software hints provide for better use of cache memory. |
