Abstract

In accordance with various aspects of the invention, a recall transaction is issued if a tag filter entry needs to be freed up for an incoming transaction. Directory entries chosen for a recall transaction are pushed into a fully associative structure called victim buffer. If this structure gets full, then an entry is selected from entries inside the victim buffer for the recall.
