ABSTRACT:
While a set-associative cache memory operates in a first power mode, information is stored in up to N number of ways of the cache memory, where N is an integer number and N>1. While the cache memory operates in a second power mode, the information is stored in up to M number of ways of the cache memory, where M is an integer number and 0<M<N.
