Abstract
Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure provide approaches for configurable allocation of ways in a cache. When a packet is received, the packet can be parsed to determine its type and a corresponding operating mode can be looked up. Based on the operating mode, one or more specific ranges of ways may be determined for the packet's data. For example, a first range of ways may be defined to include context data, a second range of ways may be defined to include descriptor data, and a third range of ways may be defined that can include both context and descriptor data. An eviction engine may clear data from and/or store data to a particular way in the cache based on the operating mode.
