Abstract
A method for selectively placing cache data, comprising the steps of (A) determining a line temperature for a plurality of devices, (B) determining a device temperature for the plurality of devices, (C) calculating an entry temperature for the plurality of devices in response to the cache line temperature and the device temperature and (D) distributing a plurality of write operations across the plurality of devices such that thermal energy is distributed evenly over the plurality of devices.
