ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided for efficiently processing data with a cache in a computer system. The computer system has a processor, a cache and a system memory. The processor issues a data request for streaming data. The streaming data has one or more small data portions. The system memory is in communication with the processor. The system memory has a specific area for storing the streaming data. The cache is coupled to the processor. The cache has a predefined area locked for the streaming data. A cache controller is coupled to the cache and is in communication with both the processor and the system memory to transmit at least one small data portion of the streaming data from the specific area of the system memory to the predefined area of the cache when the one small data portion is not found in the predefined area of the cache.
