Abstract

Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing data cache power consumption and error protection overhead are described. In some embodiments, the data cache is partitioned into cache portions. Each cache portion stores data that has a different fault tolerance and uses a different type of error detection mechanism than the other cache portions.
