ABSTRACT:
An optimization system for the cache-fill operation in a multi-set cache memory operates to select that cache-set which indicates it has invalid data therein and/or also indicates that an associated upper level cache has correspondingly invalid data. When no data invalidity is indicated, then a random counter is used to arbitrarily select an address for one set of the multiple-set cache units for the data-fill operation.
