ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a central processing unit (CPU), a cache memory coupled to the CPU and a cache controller, coupled to the cache memory. The cache memory includes a plurality of compressible cache lines to store additional data. The cache controller reorders a cache line after each access to the cache line prior to the compression of the cache line into a compressed cache line.
