Abstract

Cache defining arrangements for maximizing cacheable memory space, including a mixed technique scheme using a bottom-up scheme defining a first non-memory-hole portion using mainly substantially additive blocks of cacheable space, and a top-down scheme defining a second non-memory-hole portion by defining an oversized block of cacheable space and using mainly substantially subtractive blocks of cacheable space.
