Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that facilitate cache miss detection in an electronic device. The system contains a probabilistic filter coupled to the processing device. A probing component determines existence of an entry associated with a request. The probing component can communicate a miss token without the need to query a cache. Accordingly, power consumption can be reduced and electronic devices can be more efficient.
