A content aware application processing system is provided for allowing
directed access to data stored in a non-cache memory thereby bypassing
cache coherent memory. The processor includes a system interface to cache
coherent memory and a low latency memory interface to a non-cache
coherent memory. The system interface directs memory access for ordinary
load/store instructions executed by the processor to the cache coherent
memory. The low latency memory interface directs memory access for
non-ordinary load/store instructions executed by the processor to the
non-cache memory, thereby bypassing the cache coherent memory. The
non-ordinary load/store instruction can be a coprocessor instruction. The
memory can be a low-latency type memory. The processor can include a
plurality of processor cores.
