Abstract
A first group of memory locations stores information. The first group is arranged into multiple congruence classes of memory locations. The congruence classes include a first congruence class having more than one memory location. A second group of memory locations stores information from the first group of memory locations. Directory locations store information relating the first and second groups of memory locations. The directory locations include a first directory location able to store information relating a particular one of the second group of memory locations to any memory location of more than one of the congruence classes including the first congruence class.
