I would not call it a cache as it is: 1)Physically addressed 2)Has no complex control logic (TLB, CAMs, additional flags) 3)Us not just simply replicating something higher up in a memory hierarchy A programmer will have full access to be able to handle memory however they want, but we want to be able to build out the tools to allow for a programmer to treat it similarly to an L1 cache (that is part of a shared memory space... that has different access times)
