Abstract:
Method and apparatus monitor eviction conflicts among cache directory entries in a cache directory and produce cache directory victim entry information for a memory manager. In some examples, the memory manager reduces future cache directory conflicts by changing a page level physical address assignment for a page of memory based on the produced cache directory victim entry information. In some examples, a scalable data fabric includes hardware control logic that performs the monitoring of the eviction conflicts among cache directory entries in the cache directory and produces the cache directory victim entry information.
