Systems, apparatuses, and methods for cache management based on access type priority are disclosed. A system includes at least a processor and a cache. During a program execution phase, certain access types are more likely to cause demand hits in the cache than others. Demand hits are load and store hits to the cache. A run-time profiling mechanism is employed to find which access types are more likely to cause demand hits. Based on the profiling results, the cache lines that will likely be accessed in the future are retained based on their most recent access type. The goal is to increase demand hits and thereby improve system performance. An efficient cache replacement policy can potentially reduce redundant data movement, thereby improving system performance and reducing energy consumption.
