Nearest computer hardware comprises a kind of data bus, and two peripheral hardwares can swap data and not obvious interference is connected other peripheral hardwares on this data bus on this data bus.This means that the microprocessor that is also referred to as CPU (central processing unit) also can carry out other tasks except carrying out two message exchanges between the peripheral hardware.For example, microprocessor can be handled the data that are stored among the RAM.This data bus can be for example based on IEEE 1394 buses.
Summary of the invention
An object of the present invention is to seek a solution, make to come the optical storage peripheral hardware is carried out high-speed cache with another memory storage peripheral hardware, and need not between this two peripheral hardware, to have the direct connection of controlling oneself.This solution should be utilized existing computer hardware as far as possible.
According to the present invention, found a solution of the problems referred to above, it is a kind of cache enabling device, be used for optical memory is read and/or the output of write device and/or the information of input are carried out high-speed cache, this cache enabling device comprises at least one high capacity write and read device, a sets of data bus and a high-speed buffer processor, and described high capacity write and read device is based on magnetic hard drive; Parallel described high capacity write and read device and the high-speed buffer processor of being connected with on the described data bus also arrives described high capacity write and read device by described data bus from the instruction of other some devices except that optics is deposited removal apparatus; Described high-speed buffer processor comes information is carried out high-speed cache by using this high capacity write and read device.High-speed buffer processor is directly connected to high capacity write and read device.Optical memory is read and/or the output of write device and/or input and high-speed buffer processor are connected by data bus, so as between described output and/or input and described high-speed buffer processor direct exchange message.
According to the present invention, found another solution of the problems referred to above, promptly a kind of magnetic hard drive of in computer system, using.This computer system comprises that at least one CPU (central processing unit), an optical memory read and/or a write device and a sets of data bus, and described CPU (central processing unit) and described optical memory are read and/or write device is connected to described data bus indirectly or directly.Described magnetic hard drive also comprises a connecting circuit and a high-speed buffer processor, connecting circuit is used for concurrently magnetic hard drive being connected to data bus with high-speed buffer processor, high-speed buffer processor receives request from data bus, be intended to be used for to read and/or to write that optical memory is read and/or the information of write device, high-speed buffer processor also magnetic hard drive and optical memory is read and/or write device between carry out message exchange by data bus, optical memory is read and/or write device carries out high-speed cache.
Brief Description Of Drawings
According to the following explanation of 1 couple of each embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, the other objects and features of the invention will become apparent.
Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of cache memory architectures.
Embodiment
Described each embodiment is not restrictive, and those skilled in the art can consider still other embodiment within the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 represents it can is the data bus 1 of a part of computing machine (not shown).This data bus 1 can for example be the bus based on IEEE 1394.IEEE 1394 buses are the high-speed serial bus that allow to transmit numerical data.In addition, IEEE 1394 also allow and be connected to this bus each device direct communication and mutually between exchanges data.
Optical memory is read and/or write device 2 is connected to data bus 1 by output and/or input connector connecting circuit 22.Optical memory is read and/or write device 2 can for example be CD-ROM, DVD-ROM/RAM or CD-RW (can rewrite) driver, and promptly data are read/are write with optics or magnetic-light method.CD drive provides relatively cheap method to visit/store bulk information.
High capacity write and read device 3 is connected to data bus 1 by connecting 4.This high capacity write and read device 3 can for example be a magnetic hard drive.Magnetic hard drive provides favourable P/C ratio, so be used in the most computers.
High-speed buffer processor 5 is connected to high capacity write and read and device 3 by connecting 6, is connected to data bus 1 by connecting 4.
Be better than generally with the performance of the high capacity write and read device 3 that the access times and the transfer rate of information are represented that optical disc memory is read and/or the performance of write device 2.High-speed buffer processor 5 is directly undertaken by data bus 1 and optical memory is read and/or write device 2 between message exchange.High-speed buffer processor 5 can be for example to the request that optical memory is read and/or write device 2 sends information, receive request after, optical memory is read and/or write device 2 sends institute's information requested to high-speed buffer processor 5.High-speed buffer processor 5 sends institute's information requested of receiving in the high capacity write and read device 3 of this information of storage.
Therefore, optical memory read and/or write device and high capacity write and read device between do not need special direct the connection.This cache enabling architecture has utilized two kinds of devices to pass through the data bus possibility of exchange message each other.
In the ordinary course of things, another device 7 is connected to data bus 1.This another device 7 can for example be a microprocessor.Another device 7 is to high capacity write and read device 3 or to representing optical memory to read and/or the high-speed buffer processor 5 of write device 2 sends request to information.These requests that high-speed buffer processor 5 is handled information, if institute's information requested has been stored in the high capacity write and read device 3, just obtain institute's information requested therefrom, otherwise read and/or write device 2 acquisition institute information requested, give another device 7 this information at last from optical memory.
High-speed buffer processor 5 also can be in a period of time be analyzed request to information according to cache policies.For a person skilled in the art, cache policies is well-known.As the result who analyzes, high-speed buffer processor 5 can determine which another device 7 is than definite information of the more frequent request of other information.As long as this fixed information often is requested, high-speed buffer processor 5 just can be stored in it in high capacity write and read device.High-speed buffer processor 5 also can be realized the cache policies that is referred to as to read in advance, thereby waits for the request of 7 pairs of information of another device in advance.
In another embodiment, also can use high-speed buffer processor 5 on data bus 1, to receive to send by another device 7, be intended to be stored in optical memory is read and/or write device 2 in information.High-speed buffer processor 5 will at first send to high capacity write and read device 3 to the information of receiving, the latter stores this information earlier, then it is copied to from high capacity write and read device 3 that optical memory is read and/or write device 2.By utilizing the write attribute of high capacity write and read device 3, improved in fact that optical memory is read and/or the write attribute of write device 2.
Each device that is connected on the data bus 1 uses communication protocol to come exchange message.In a preferred embodiment, optical memory read and/or write device 2 and high level cache processor 5 between communication protocol can be the optimization version of the communication protocol between another device 7 and high-speed buffer processor 5, to strengthen simplicity and performance.
In general, high capacity write and read device 3 can comprise himself carrying out oneself private cache processor of high-speed cache.In a preferred embodiment, the functional function that comprises the high-speed buffer processor that this is special-purpose of high-speed buffer processor 5, thereby removed to one physically each other private cache processor needs and further reduced cost.
