摘要:An improved method and apparatus for selecting invalid members as victims in aleast recently used cache system. An invalid cache line selection unit has an input
connected to a cache directory and an output connected to a most recently used updatelogic. In response to a miss in the cache, an invalid cache line is identified from informationin the cache directory by the invalid cache line selection unit. This invalid cache line isupdated to be the next victim by the most recently used update logic, rather thanattempting to override the current victim selection by a least recently used victimselection logic. The next victim also may be selected in response to a cache hit in whichinformation from the cache directory also is read.
