ABSTRACT:
Cache and architectural specific functions within a cache controller are layered and provided with generic interfaces, isolating the complexities of each and allowing the overall functionality to be further divided into distinct, largely autonomous functional units. Each functional unit handles a certain type of operation and may be easily replicated or removed from the design to provide a number of cache designs with varied price and performance.
