The described embodiments include a cache controller that configures a cache management mechanism. In the described embodiments, the cache controller is configured to monitor at least one structure associated with a cache to determine at least one cache block that may be accessed during a future access in the cache. Based on the determination of the at least one cache block that may be accessed during a future access in the cache, the cache controller configures the cache management mechanism.
