Class CIM_CacheMemory
extends CIM_Memory

Capabilities and management of Cache Memory. Cache memory is dedicated or allocated RAM that a Processor searches first for data, before going to 'regular' memory. CacheMemory is used to speed up the delivery of data to a Processor. It is usually described by its closeness to the Processor (for example, Primary or Secondary Cache). If a DiskDrive includes RAM allocated for holding the disk's most recently read and/or adjacent data (in order to speed up retrieval), this also would be modeled as CacheMemory. Note that CacheMemory is NOT operating system or application level buffers but actual RAM allocated for caching data for a Processor, from a hard disk, etc.

Name	Data Type	Default Value	Qualifiers
Name	Data Type	Default Value	Name	Data Type	Value
Associativity	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.Associativity
			Description	string	An integer enumeration defining the system cache associativity. For example, 6 indicates a fully associative cache.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.15
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
			Values	string	Other, Unknown, Direct Mapped, 2-way Set-Associative, 4-way Set-Associative, Fully Associative, 8-way Set-Associative, 16-way Set-Associative
CacheType	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.CacheType
			Description	string	Defines whether this is for instruction caching (value=3), data caching (value=4) or both (value=5, "Unified"). Also, "Other" (1) and "Unknown" (2) can be defined.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.9
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4, 5
			Values	string	Other, Unknown, Instruction, Data, Unified
FlushTimer	uint32
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.FlushTimer
			Description	string	Maximum amount of time, in seconds, dirty lines or buckets may remain in the Cache before they are flushed. A value of zero indicated that a cache flush is not controlled by a flushing timer.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.14
			PUnit	string	second
			Units	string	Seconds
Level	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.Level
			Description	string	Defines whether this is the Primary (value=3), Secondary (value=4) or Tertiary (value=5) Cache. Also, "Other" (1), "Unknown" (2) and "Not Applicable" (6) can be defined.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.2
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
			Values	string	Other, Unknown, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Not Applicable
LineSize	uint32
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.LineSize
			Description	string	Size, in bytes, of a single cache bucket or line.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.10
			PUnit	string	byte
			Units	string	Bytes
ReadPolicy	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.ReadPolicy
			Description	string	Policy that shall be employed by the Cache for handling read requests. For example, "Read", "Read-Ahead" or both can be specified using the values, 3, 4 or 5, respectively. If the read policy is determined individually (ie, for each request), then the value 6 ("Determination per I/O") should be specified. "Other" (1) and "Unknown" (2) are also valid values.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.13
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
			Values	string	Other, Unknown, Read, Read-Ahead, Read and Read-Ahead, Determination Per I/O
ReplacementPolicy	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.ReplacementPolicy
			Description	string	An integer enumeration describing the algorithm to determine which cache lines or buckets should be re-used.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.12
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
			Values	string	Other, Unknown, Least Recently Used (LRU), First In First Out (FIFO), Last In First Out (LIFO), Least Frequently Used (LFU), Most Frequently Used (MFU), Data Dependent Multiple Algorithms
WritePolicy	uint16
			Deprecated	string	CIM_AssociatedCacheMemory.WritePolicy
			Description	string	Defines whether this is write-back (value=3) or write-through (value=4) Cache, or whether this information "Varies with Address" (5) or is defined individually for each I/O (6). Also, "Other" (1) and "Unknown" (2) can be specified.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|System Cache\|006.5
			ValueMap	string	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
			Values	string	Other, Unknown, Write Back, Write Through, Varies with Address, Determination Per I/O
