Writethrough vs. Writeback Coherency States
A20M# Masking of Cache Accesses
The terms writethrough and writeback apply to two related
concepts in a read-write cache like the AMD-K6 processor L1
data cache. The following conditions apply to both the
writethrough and writeback modes:
Although the processor samples A20M# as a level-sensitive
input on every clock edge, it should only be asserted in Real
mode. The CPU applies the A20M# masking to its tags, through
which all programs access the caches. Therefore, assertion of
A20M# affects all addresses (cache and external memory),
including the following:
However, A20M# does not mask writebacks or invalidations
caused by the following actions:
Memory Writes—A relationship exists between external
memory writes and their concurrence with cache updates:
•
•
Coherency State—A relationship exists between MESI
coherency states and writethrough-writeback coherency
states of lines in the cache as follows:
•
•
Cache-line fills (caused by read misses)
Cache writethroughs (caused by write misses or write hits to
lines in the shared state)
Internal snoops
Inquire cycles
The FLUSH# signal
The WBINVD instruction
An external memory write that occurs concurrently with
a cache update to the same location is a writethrough.
Writethroughs are driven as single cycles on the bus.
An external memory write that occurs after the processor
has modified a cache line is a writeback. Writebacks are
driven as burst cycles on the bus.
Shared MESI lines are in the writethrough state.
Modified and exclusive MESI lines are in the writeback
state.
