Abstract
In one embodiment, a method of selectively reserving portions of a last level cache (LLC) for a multi-core processor, the method comprising: allocating, by an executive system, plural classes of service to the portions of the LLC, wherein the portions comprise ways, and wherein each of the plural classes of service are allocated to one or more of the ways; assigning, by the executive system, one of the plural classes of service to an application as a default class of service, wherein the assignment controls which of the ways the application can allocate into; and overriding, by the application, the default class of service to enable allocation by the application to the one or more of the ways associated with a non-default class of service.
