Abstract

See full text

A data processing system (10) includes a mechanism for preventing DST line fetches from occupying the last available entries in a cache miss queue (50) of the data cache and MMU (16). This is done by setting a threshold value of available cache miss queue (50) buffers over which a DST access is not allowed. This prevents the cache miss queue (50) from filling up and preventing normal load and store accesses from using the cache miss queue (50).
