ABSTRACT:
A method and system for managing a cache including a plurality of entries are described. According to the method, first and second cache operation requests are received. In response to receipt of the second cache operation request, an entry among the plurality of entries is identified for replacement. In response to a conflict between the first and the second cache operation requests, an entry among the plurality of entries other than the identified entry is replaced. In one embodiment, the alternative entry is replaced if the first cache operation request specifies the entry identified for replacement in response to the second cache operation request.
