| KTI Prefetch | DisableEnable | This is for enabling/disabling the KTI prefetch function. |
| Stale AtoS | DisableEnableAuto | The in-memory directory has three states: invalid (I), snoopAll (A), and Shared (S). The snoopAll (A) means the data may exist in another socket or modified state. Shared (S) state means the data may be shared across one or more socket's caches. When reading memory and directory line is in the A state, we must snoop all the other sockets because another socket may have the line in modified state. If this is the case, the snoop will return the modified data. However, it may be the case that all snoops come back a miss if another socket read the line earlier and then dropped it from its cache without modifying it.Disable – allows processing memory directory states as described above.Enable – where a line in A state returns only snoop misses, the line will be transition to S state. Subsequent reads to the line will encounter it in S state and not have to snoop, saving latency and snoop bandwidth. |
| LLC dead line alloc | DisableEnableAuto | In CPU cache scheme, mid-level cache (MLC) evictions are filled into last-level case (LLC). When lines are evicted from MLC, core can flag them as “dead”. This means that lines are not likely to be read again. This option allows dropping dead lines and never fills them into LLC if the option is disabled. When it is enabled, the LLC can opportunistically fill dead lines into LLC if space is available. |
