ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for selectively overwriting sets of a cache as a function of a replacement management table and a least recently used function. A class identifier is created as a function of an address miss. A replacement management table is employable to read the class identifier to create a tag replacement control indicia. The cache, comprising a plurality of sets, is employable to disable the replacement of at least one of the plurality of sets as a function of the tag replacement control indicia.
