Abstract:
A method performed by a multi-core processor is described. The method includes, while a core is executing program code, reading a dirty cache line from the core's last level cache and sending the dirty cache line from the core for storage external from the core, where, the dirty cache line has not been evicted from the cache nor requested by another core or processor.
