Abstract
A cache memory shared among a plurality of separate, disjoint entities each having a disjoint address space, includes a cache segregator for dynamically segregating a storage space allocated to each entity of the entities such that no interference occurs with respective ones of the entities. A multiprocessor system including the cache memory, a method and a signal bearing medium for storing a program embodying the method also are provided.
