Abstract:

An apparatus to facilitate memory flushing is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a cache memory, one or more processing resources, tracker hardware to dispatch workloads for execution at the processing resources and to monitor the workloads to track completion of the execution, range based flush (RBF) hardware to process RBF commands and generate a flush indication to flush data from the cache memory and a flush controller to receive the flush indication and perform a flush operation to discard data from the cache memory at an address range provided in the flush indication.
