ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for determining an MRU or LRU way of a partitioned cache. The partitioned cache has a plurality of ways. There are a plurality of partitions, each partition comprising at least one way. An updater is employable to update a logic table as a function of an access of a way. Partition comparison logic is employable to determine whether two ways are members of the same partition, and to allow the comparison of the ways correlating to a first matrix indices and a second matrix indices. An intersection generator is employable to create an intersection box of the memory table as a function of a first and second matrix indices. Access order logic is employable to combine the output of the intersection generator, thereby determining which way is the most or least recently used way.
