Cache Invalidation and Flushing in
Write-Back Mode
The Enhanced Am486 microprocessor family supports
cache
invalidation
and
flushing,
much
like
the
Am486DX and Am486 microprocessor write-through
mode. However, the addition of the write-back cache
adds some complexity.
4.9.1
Cache Invalidation through Software
The Enhanced Am486 microprocessor family uses the
same instructions as the Am486DX and Am486 micro-
processor families to invalidate the on-chip cache. The
two invalidation instructions, INVD and WBINVD, while
similar, are slightly different for use in the write-back
environment.
The WBINVD instruction first performs a write-back of
the modified data in the cache to external memory. Then
it invalidates the cache, followed by two special bus
cycles, whereas the INVD instruction only invalidates
the cache, regardless of whether modified data exists,
and follows with a special bus cycle. The utmost care
should be taken when executing the INVD instruction to
ensure memory coherency. Otherwise, modified data
may be invalidated prior to writing back to main memory.
In write-back mode, WBINVD requires a minimum of
2050 internal clocks to search the cache for modified
data. Writing back modified data adds to this minimum
time. WBINVD can only be stopped by a RESET.
Two special bus cycles follow the write-back of modified
data upon execution of the WBINVD instruction: first the
write-back, and then the flush special bus cycle. The
INVD operates identically to the standard 486 micropro-
cessor family in that the flush special bus cycle is gen-
erated when the on-chip cache is invalidated. Table 7
specifies the special bus cycle states for the instructions
WBINVD and INVD.
4.9.2
Cache Invalidation through Hardware
The other mechanism for cache invalidation is the
FLUSH pin. The FLUSH pin operates similarly to the
WBINVD command, writing back modified cache lines
to main memory. After the entire cache has copied back
all the modified data, the microprocessor generates two
special bus cycles. These special bus cycles signal to
the external caches that the microprocessor on-chip
cache has completed its copy-back and that the second
level cache may begin its copy-back to memory, if so
required.
Two flush acknowledge cycles are generated after the
FLUSH pin is asserted and the modified data in the
cache is written back. As with the WBINVD instruction,
in write-back mode, a flush requires a minimum of 2050
internal clocks to test the cache for modified data. Writ-
ing back modified data adds to this minimum time. The
flush operation can only be stopped by a RESET. Table
8 shows the special flush bus cycle configuration.
