SPARC64 V Implementation and the Ideal Specification

In the table on page 183 (defining terminology in TABLE P-20), the rows (ASIs 6F16, 7F16, and EF16) with error type of “Not detected (#dv)” or “COREERROR (#dv)” indicate that the SPARC64 V implementation deviates from the ideal specification, which is described in TABLE P-21but is not implemented in SPARC64 V.

P.9 Cache Error Handling

In this section, handling of cache errors of the following types is specified:

■Cache tag errors

■Cache data errors in I1, D1, and U2 caches

This section concludes with the specification of automatic way reduction in the I1, D1, and U2 caches.

P.9.1 Handling of a Cache Tag Error

Error in D1 Cache Tag and I1 Cache Tag

Both the D1 cache (Data level 1) and the I1 cache (Instruction level 1) maintain a copy of their cache tags in the U2 (unified level 2) cache. The D1 cache tags, the D1 cache tags copy, the I1 cache tags, and the I1 cache tags copy are each protected by parity.
