I want to know if there are implemented stuff in C# which allows to access CPU cache. It is just interesting for me but I do not have something to do with the cpu cache at the moment. So I was wondering if it is a system limited access or it is avilable to users also. I am talking about L1/L2 or whatever they are called!
Would be nice to hear your comments, external linkes and maybe some code snippets! Thanks.
No programming language has direct access to CPU cache. Reading and writing the cache is something done automatically by the hardware; there’s no way to write instructions which treat the cache as any kind of separate entity. Reads and writes to the cache happen as side-effect to all instructions that touch memory.
