Abstract
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for replacing pre-fetched data in a pre-fetch cache. In one embodiment, each line of the pre-fetch cache will be accessed at most M times. A line accessed M times can be evicted from the cache without any performance loss. In this embodiment, a counter is added to each pre-fetch data line to track how many times it has been accessed. In another embodiment, a displacement bit is added to each pre-fetch data line, and when a defined portion of the data line is accessed, this bit is set to a given value, indicating that the line can be evicted.
