    • Method Detail

      • isHit

        boolean isHit​(A address)
        Checks whether the given address hits the buffer.
        Parameters:
        address - the address.
        Returns:
        true iff the address hits the buffer.
      • readEntry

        E readEntry​(A address)
        Reads the entry associated w/ the given address from the buffer.
        Parameters:
        address - the address.
        Returns:
        the entry associated w/ the address or null.
      • writeEntry

        void writeEntry​(A address,
                        ru.ispras.fortress.data.types.bitvector.BitVector newEntry)
        Writes the entry associated w/ the given address into the buffer.

        Note that an incoming entry is not necessarily of the E type. It may be returned from the previous- or next-level cache unit (thus, be different). It is the method's responsibility to convert the entry to the specified type.

        Parameters:
        address - the address.
        newEntry - the new entry.
      • writeEntry

        void writeEntry​(A address,
                        int lower,
                        int upper,
                        ru.ispras.fortress.data.types.bitvector.BitVector newData)
        Writes the data associated w/ the given address into the given field of the entry.
        Parameters:
        address - the address.
        lower - the lower bit.
        upper - the upper bit.
        newData - the new data.
      • resetState

        void resetState()
        Resets the state of the buffer.
