Abstract

A system, processor and method to reduce the overall detectable unrecoverable FIT rate of a cache by reducing the residency time of dirty lines in a cache. This is accomplished through selectively choosing different replacement policies during execution based on the DUE FIT target of the system. System performance and power is minimally affected while effectively reducing the DUE FIT rate.
