- There are currently 2 cache_disable_# files in each

+Description: Disable L3 cache indices
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
|
|
|
+ cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
|
|
|
+ can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
|
|
|
+ on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
|
|
|
+ disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
|
|
|
+ node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
|
|
|
+ index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
|
|
|
+ index to be disabled.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.
