Abstract:
A method comprising receiving a memory access request comprising an address of data to be accessed and determining an access granularity of the data to be accessed based on the address of the data to be accessed. The method further includes, in response to determining that the data to be accessed has a first access granularity, generating first cache line metadata associated with the first access granularity and in response to determining that the data to be accessed has a second access granularity, generating second cache line metadata associated with the second access granularity. The method further includes storing the first cache line metadata and the second cache line metadata in a single cache memory component.
