A cache is provided for operatively coupling a processor with a main memory. The cache includes a cache memory and a cache controller operatively coupled with the cache memory. The cache controller is configured to receive memory requests to be satisfied by the cache memory or the main memory. In addition, the cache controller is configured to process cache activity information to cause at least one of the memory requests to bypass the cache memory.
