Embodiments are generally directed to an asymmetric set combined cache including a direct-mapped cache portion and a multi-way cache portion. A processor may include one or more processing cores for processing of data, and a cache memory to cache data from a main memory for the one or more processing cores, the cache memory including a first cache portion, the first cache portion including a direct-mapped cache, and a second cache portion, the second cache portion including a multi-way cache. The cache memory includes asymmetric sets in the first cache portion and the second cache portion, the first cache portion being larger than the second cache portion. A coordinated replacement policy for the cache memory provides for replacement of data in the first cache portion and the second cache portion. |
