Abstract

A request to access data at an address is received from a host system. A tag associated with the address is determined to not be found in first entries in a first content-addressable memory (CAM) or in second entries in a second CAM. Responsive to determining that the tag is not found in the first entries or in the second entries, a particular entry of the first entries that each includes valid data is selected. A determination is made whether the particular entry satisfies a condition indicating that content in the particular entry is to be stored in the second CAM. The content is associated with other data stored in the cache. Responsive to determining that the condition is satisfied, the content of the particular entry is stored in one of the second entries to maintain the data in the cache.
