Cache memory device, system including the same, and method of operating the same
Abstract:
A cache memory device includes a cache circuit and a way prediction circuit. The cache circuit generates a cache hit signal indicating whether target data corresponding to an access address are stored in cache lines and performs a current cache access operation primarily with respect to candidate ways based on a candidate way signal indicating the candidate ways in a way prediction mode. The way prediction circuit stores accumulation information by accumulating a cache hit result indicating whether the target data are stored in one of ways and a way prediction hit result indicating whether the target data are stored in one of the candidate ways based on the cache hit signal provided during previous cache access operations. The way prediction circuit generates the candidate way signal by determining the candidate ways for the current cache access operation based on the accumulation information in the way prediction mode.
