Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method of managing operation of a cache memory. The system and method assign each nested task a level, and each task within a nested level an instance. Using the assigned task levels and instances, the cache management module is able to determine which cache entries to evict from cache when space is needed, and which evicted cache entries to recover upon completion of preempting tasks.
