Multiway set associative cache and method of accessing the same, computer device

Abstract

The application relates to a multi-path group connection cache memory and an access method and computer equipment thereof, which comprise a controller, an address management module, a data storage module and a hit judgment module; the data storage module comprises a plurality of first static random access memories, each of which comprises m storage units; each path comprises a plurality of cache lines, and the data of each cache line is divided into m categories of data sub-blocks in high-low order; m categories of data sub-blocks of each path are stored in the m first static random access memories respectively, and a plurality of data sub-blocks of the same category of each path are stored in the same storage unit; the categories of the data sub-blocks stored in the m storage units of each first static random access memory are all different; and m is greater than 0. Through the application, the technical problem of low row utilization rate of the SRAM of the DATA-SRAM in the current small-capacity Cache can be solved.
