摘要:
A physical cache memory that is divided into one or more virtual segments using multiple circuits to decode addresses is provided. An address mapping and an address decoder is selected for each virtual segment. The address mapping comprises two or more address bits as set indexes for the virtual segment and the selected address bits are different for each virtual segment. A cache address decoder is provided for each virtual segment to enhance execution performance of programs or to protect against the side channel attack. Each physical cache address decoder comprises an address mask register to extract the selected address bits to locate objects in the virtual segment. The foregoing can be implemented as a method or apparatus for protecting against a side channel attack.
