In an example, an apparatus comprises a plurality of execution units, and a cache memory communicatively coupled to the plurality of execution units, wherein the cache memory is structured into a plurality of sectors, wherein each sector in the plurality of sectors comprises at least two cache lines. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

An arithmetic processing device including: request issuing units configured to issue an access request to a storage; and banks each of which includes: a first cache area including first entries; a second cache area including second entries; a control unit; and a determination unit that determines a cache hit or a cache miss for each of the banks, wherein the control unit performs: in response that the access requests simultaneously received from the request issuing units make the cache miss, storing the data, which is read from the storage device respectively by the access requests, in one of the first entries and one of the second entries; and in response that the access requests simultaneously received from the request issuing units make the cache hit in the first and second cache areas, outputting the data retained in the first and second entries, to each of issuers of the access requests.

A data prefetching method and a terminal device are provided. The CPU core cluster is configured to deliver a data access request to a first cache of the at least one level of cache, where the data access request carries a first address, and the first address is an address of data that the CPU core cluster currently needs to access in the memory. The prefetcher in the terminal device provided in embodiments of this application may generate a prefetch-from address, and load data corresponding to the generated prefetch-from address to the first cache. When needing to access the data, the CPU core cluster can read from the first cache, without a need to read from the memory. This helps increase an operating rate of the CPU core cluster.

A processor of an aspect includes a plurality of packed data registers, and a decode unit to decode a no-locality hint vector memory access instruction. The no-locality hint vector memory access instruction to indicate a packed data register of the plurality of packed data registers that is to have a source packed memory indices. The source packed memory indices to have a plurality of memory indices. The no-locality hint vector memory access instruction is to provide a no-locality hint to the processor for data elements that are to be accessed with the memory indices. The processor also includes an execution unit coupled with the decode unit and the plurality of packed data registers. The execution unit, in response to the no-locality hint vector memory access instruction, is to access the data elements at memory locations that are based on the memory indices.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing processing, memory, storage, network, and cloud computing to significantly improve the efficiency and performance of processing nodes. Embodiments can implement an object memory fabric including object memory modules storing memory objects created natively within the object memory module and may be a managed at a memory layer. The memory module object directory may index all memory objects within the object memory module. A hierarchy of object routers communicatively coupling the object memory modules may each include a router object directory that indexes all memory objects and portions contained in object memory modules below the object router in the hierarchy. The hierarchy of object routers may behave in aggregate as a single object directory communicatively coupled to all object memory modules and to process requests based on the router object directories.
