A systolic array cell is described, the cell including two general-purpose arithmetic logic units (ALUs) and register-file. A plurality of the cells may be configured in a matrix or array, such that the output of the first ALU in a first cell is provided to a second cell to the right of the first cell, and the output of the second ALU in the first cell is provided to a third cell below the first cell. The two ALUs in each cell of the array allow for processing of a different instruction in each cycle.

A caching system including a first sub-cache and a second sub-cache in parallel with the first sub-cache, wherein the second sub-cache includes a set of cache lines, line type bits configured to store an indication that a corresponding cache line of the set of cache lines is configured to store write-miss data, and an eviction controller configured to flush stored write-miss data based on the line type bits.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to facilitate write miss caching in cache system are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first cache storage; a second cache storage, wherein the second cache storage includes a first portion operable to store a first set of data evicted from the first cache storage and a second portion; a cache controller coupled to the first cache storage and the second cache storage and operable to: receive a write operation; determine that the write operation produces a miss in the first cache storage; and in response to the miss in the first cache storage, provide write miss information associated with the write operation to the second cache storage for storing in the second portion.

Techniques for caching data are provided that include receiving, by a caching system, a write memory command for a memory address, the write memory command associated with a first color tag, determining, by a first sub-cache of the caching system, that the memory address is not cached in the first sub-cache, determining, by second sub-cache of the caching system, that the memory address is not cached in the second sub-cache, storing first data associated with the first write memory command in a cache line of the second sub-cache, storing the first color tag in the second sub-cache, receiving a second write memory command for the cache line, the write memory command associated with a second color tag, merging the second color tag with the first color tag, storing the merged color tag, and evicting the cache line based on the merged color tag.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to facilitate atomic compare and swap in cache for a coherent level 1 data cache system are disclosed. An example system includes a cache storage; a cache controller coupled to the cache storage wherein the cache controller is operable to: receive a memory operation that specifies a key, a memory address, and a first set of data; retrieve a second set of data corresponding to the memory address; compare the second set of data to the key; based on the second set of data corresponding to the key, cause the first set of data to be stored at the memory address; and based on the second set of data not corresponding to the key, complete the memory operation without causing the first set of data to be stored at the memory address.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate read-modify-write support in a victim cache. An example apparatus includes a first storage coupled to a controller, a second storage coupled to the controller and parallel coupled to the first storage, and a storage queue coupled to the first storage, the second storage, and to the controller, the storage queue to obtain a memory operation from the controller indicating an address and a first set of data, obtain a second set of data associated with the address from at least one of the first storage and the second storage, merge the first set of data and the second set of data to produce a third set of data, and provide the third set of data for writing to at least one of the first storage and the second storage.
