Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product are provided for managing a cache. A region to be stored within the cache is received. The cache includes multiple regions and each of the regions is defined by memory ranges having a starting index and an ending index. The region that has been received is stored in the cache in accordance with a cache invariant. The cache invariant guarantees that at any given point in time the regions in the cache are stored in a given order and none of the regions are completely contained within any other of the regions.
