Abstract
The illustrative embodiments provide a method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for managing a cache. A probability of a future request for data to be stored in a portion of the cache by a thread is identified for each of the number of threads to form a number of probabilities. The data is stored with a rank in a number of ranks in the portion of the cache responsive to receiving the future request from the thread in the number of threads for the data. The rank is selected using the probability in the number of probabilities for the thread.
