Size of constant memory cache

[David_L_11]

Hi,

I would like to obtain the size of the constant memory cache. So I want to ask, if there is any way how to do it, or if it is at least specified somewhere.

Many thanks for your reply.

Yours sincerely

David

Thanks for your question.  I'm gathering information and will get back to you soon.

Current architectures don't include dedicated constant cache hardware.  Global, constant, and image data all map to the same L3/LLC/eDRAM hardware.   As far as I know there is no way to query it.

Especially slide 42 of the architecture section.

OK, many thanks for your reply.

Those Micro48 slides are great.

David, the "Configurations" PRMs for more recent architectures are also a good source for sizes and throughputs:
