Abstract
A plurality of bits are added to virtual and physical memory addresses to specify the level at which data is stored in a multi-level cache hierarchy. When data is to be written to cache, each cache level determines whether it is permitted to store the data. Storing data at the appropriate cache level addresses the problem of cache thrashing.
