TLDR
In this paper, a cache bypass signal generator is used to prevent the cache memory from performing a data caching operation on the data in order to prevent data to be cache-bypassed without checking bus status signals.
Abstract
A microprocessor capable of being incorporated in an information processing system with a cache memory unit and capable of realizing fine cache bypass control. The microprocessor can detect data to be cache-bypassed without checking bus status signals. The microprocessor is equipped with a cache bypass signal generator. Upon detection of data to be bypassed, the cache bypass signal generator generates a cache bypass request signal, which prevents the cache memory from performing a data caching operation on the data.

Method and apparatus for selective data caching implemented with noncacheable and cacheable data for improved cache performance in a computer networking system

TL;DR: In this article, the cache controller determines whether the requested data object is to be cached or is exempt from being cached, and then it is loaded directly into a local memory and is not stored in the cache.

Input/output cache system including bypass capability

TL;DR: In this paper, a local memory of an input/output system includes a cache store and a backing store, and each memory command applied to the memory unit incudes a predetermined bit which is coded to designate when the information requested from the local memory unit is to be written into the cache store.

Data processing system which selectively bypasses a cache memory in fetching information based upon bit information of an instruction

TL;DR: In this article, the cache memory control circuit detects whether access operation of the processor is directed to a particular region of the memory, and when the data is to be read out from, or is to write onto, the particular region, the data are copied onto the cache, and operation of memory is executed immediately without waiting for the reference of cache memory.
