Abstract
In one embodiment, a CPU cache management system is provided. The CPU management system includes, for example, a CPU chip and cache management logic. The CPU chip include cache elements that are initially in use and spare cache elements that not initially in use. The cache management logic determines whether currently-used cache elements are faulty. If a cache element is determined to be faulty, the cache management logic schedules a reboot of the computer and swaps in a spare cache element for the faulty currently-used cache element during the reboot.
