Abstract

This document describes apparatuses and techniques for cache memory with randomized eviction. In various aspects, a cache memory randomly selects a cache line for eviction and/or replacement. The cache memory may also support multi-occupancy whereby the cache memory enters data reused from another cache line to replace the data of the randomly evicted cache line. By so doing, the cache memory may operate in a nondeterministic fashion, which may increase a probability of data remaining in the cache memory for subsequent requests.
