ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and signal-bearing medium for improving the performance of a cache when request streams with different spatial and/or temporal properties access the cache. A set in the cache is partitioned into subsets with different request streams using different subsets within the cache. In this way, interference between the different request streams is reduced.
