Abstract
A cache is presented. The cache comprises a tag array configured to store one or more tag addresses, a data array configured to store data acquired from a dynamic random access memory device, and a cache controller. The cache controller is configured to: receive a cache access request; determine, based on an indication associated with the cache access request, a cache access policy; and perform an operation to the tag array and to the data array based on the determined cache access policy.
