Correction behavior
L1 data cache data
SECDED
32 bits of data +1 poison bit + 7 bits
for ECC attached to the word.
The cache line that contains the error gets
evicted, corrected in line, and refilled to the
core.
L1 Prefetch History Table
(PHT)
None
-
-
MMU translation cache
2 interleaved parity
bits
67 bits
Entry invalidated, new pagewalk started to
refetch it.
MMU replacement policy None
-
MMU biased replacement None
-
L2 cache tag
SECDED
128KB L2 - 7 ECC bits for 38 tag
bits
256KB L2 - 7 ECC bits for 37 tag
bits
512KB L2 - 7 ECC bits for 36 tag
bits
Tag is corrected inline.
L2 cache data
SECDED
8 ECC bits for 64 data bits
Data is corrected inline.
L2 victim
None
-
-
L2 TQ data
SECDED
8 ECC bits for 64 data bits
Data is corrected inline.
To ensure that progress is guaranteed even in case of hard error, the core returns corrected data to the
core, and no cache access is required after data correction.
