摘要:
A method, system and computer program product for selectively purging entries in a cache of a computer system. The method includes determining a starting storage address and a length of the storage address range to be purged, determining preset values for a congruence class and a compartment of a cache directory, accessing the cache directory based on the preset value of the congruence class, and selecting an entry in the cache directory based on the preset value of the compartment, determining validity of the entry accessed by examining an ownership tag of the entry, comparing a line address of the entry with the starting storage address and a sum of the starting storage address and the length of the storage address range, and selectively purging the entry based on the comparison result.
