    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a method includes identifying one or more way prediction characteristics of an instruction. The method also includes selectively reading, based on identification of the one or more way prediction characteristics, a table to identify an entry of the table associated with the instruction that identifies a way of a data cache. The method further includes making a prediction whether a next access of the data cache based on the instruction will access the way.

    Abstract: In a particular embodiment, an apparatus includes control logic configured to selectively set bits of a multi-bit way prediction mask based on a prediction mask value. The control logic is associated with an instruction cache including a data array. A subset of line drivers of the data array is enabled responsive to the multi-bit way prediction mask. The subset of line drivers includes multiple line drivers.
