Abstract
According to an embodiment, a computer system for cache management includes a processor and a cache, the computer system configured to perform a method including receiving a first store request for a first address in the cache and receiving a first fetch request for the first address in the cache. The method also includes executing the first store request and the first fetch request, latching the first store request in a store write-back pipeline in the cache, detecting, in the processor, a conflict following execution of the first store request and the first fetch request and receiving the first store request from a recycle path including the store write-back pipeline and executing the first store request a second time.
