Abstract

An integrated circuit is provided with at least one processing unit (TM), a cache memory (L2 BANK) having a plurality of memory modules, and remapping means (RM) for performing an unrestricted remapping within said plurality of memory modules. Accordingly, faulty modules can be remapped without limitations in order to optimise the utilization of the memory modules by providing an even distribution of the faulty modules.
