Abstract
In some embodiments, a method of managing cache memory includes identifying a group of cache lines in a cache memory, based on a correlation between the cache lines. The method also includes tracking evictions of cache lines in the group from the cache memory and, in response to a determination that a criterion regarding eviction of cache lines in the group from the cache memory is satisfied, selecting one or more (e.g., all) remaining cache lines in the group for eviction.
