Abstract

An example system on a chip (SoC) includes a processor, a cache, and a main memory. The SoC can include a first memory to store data in a memory line, wherein the memory line is set to an invalid state. The processor can include a processor coupled to the first memory. The processor can determine that a data size of a first data set received from an application is within a data size range. The processor can determine that an aggregate data size of the first data set and a second data set received from the application is at least a same data size as data size of the memory line. The processor can perform an invalid-to-modify (I2M) operation to change the memory line from the invalid state to a modified state. The processor can write the first data set and the second data set to the memory line.
