Abstract
Example implementations of the present disclosure are directed to handling the eviction of a conflicting cuckoo entry while reducing performance degradation resulting. In example implementations, when an address is replacing another address, the evicted address does not necessarily map to the same places as the new address. Example implementations attempt to conduct a run through of the cache coherent directory with the new entry such that the evicted address can find an empty entry in the directory and fill the empty entry.
