That actually happens, to some extent, on some CPUs. If you get everything right, the data only goes to the outermost cache, and never reaches the CPU itself.Hello Jarrett,I'm actually kind of shocked that given the prevalence of memory block copy operations that more CPUs haven't implemented it as a basic instruction. Yes, RISC is nice, but geez, this seems like a no-brainer.How about memory to memory DMA, Why even make the CPU wait for it to finish?
