ABSTRACT:
In multiprocessor machines and chip multiprocessor systems in particular, the object of the present invention is to reduce data communication between the LSI chip and external components and to avoid restrictions in communication volume resulting from the LSI pin count. Sets in tag and data blocks of a shared cache include a shared bit S. When data is replaced for a cache miss, the contents of the shared bit S are checked and the side with the shared bit S set to 0 in the tag and data block is selected for data replacement. This allows data shared by a plurality of processors to be left in the shared cache, and the data transfer between the shared cache and the main memory can be reduced.
