Microprocessor with 32-bit System Bus Data Sheet
Released
4. Write-through without write allocate
Loads and instruction fetches first search the cache, reading main memory only if the desired
data is not cache resident. On data store operations, the cache is first searched to determine if
the target address is cache resident. If it is resident, the cache contents are updated and main
memory is written, leaving the
write-back
bit of the cache line unchanged. If the cache lookup
misses, then only main memory is written.
The most commonly used write policy is write-back, where a store to a cache line does not
immediately cause the main memory to be updated. This increases system performance by
reducing bus traffic and eliminating the bottleneck of waiting for each store operation to finish
before issuing a subsequent memory operation. Software can, however, select write-through on a
per-page basis when appropriate, such as for frame buffers.
Associated with the data cache is the store buffer. When the RM5231 executes a store instruction,
this single-entry buffer gets written with the store data while the tag comparison is performed. If
the tag matches, then the data is written into the data cache in the next cycle that the data cache is
not accessed (the next non-load cycle). The store buffer allows the RM5231 to execute a store
every processor cycle and to perform back-to-back stores without penalty. In the event of a store
immediately followed by a load to the same address, a combined merge and cache write occurs
such that no penalty is incurred.
The RM5231 cache attributes for both the instruction and data caches are summarized in Table 3.

3.20 Write Buffer
Writes to external memory, whether cache miss write-backs or stores to uncached or write-through
addresses, use the on-chip write buffer. The write buffer holds up to four 64-bit address and data
pairs. The entire buffer is used for a data cache write-back and allows the processor to proceed in
parallel with the memory update. For uncached and write-through stores, the write buffer
