Abstract
In response to determining a requested line of data is not stored within a local memory, the requested line of data is written to the local memory from a remote memory. Additionally, a victim page is selected in the local memory in response to the requested line of data not being in the local memory and it is determined whether one or more lines of the victim page are dirty. Furthermore, the one or more dirty lines are written to the remote memory in response to determining that the one or more lines are dirty and the requested line of data is fetched from the remote memory. Moreover, the requested line of data is stored within the page of data at a location previously occupied by the victim page.
