Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for associating a first priority indicator with first data stored in a first entry of a cache memory to indicate a priority level of the first data, and updating a count value associated with the first priority indicator. The count value may then be used in determining an appropriate cache line for eviction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
