A method and apparatus for partitioning a shared cache of a chip multi-processor are described. In one embodiment, the method includes a request of a cache block from system memory if a cache miss within a shared cache is detected according to a received request from a processor. Once the cache block is requested, a victim block within the shared cache is selected according to a processor identifier and a request type of the received request. In one embodiment, selection of the victim block according to a processor identifier and request type is based on a partition of a set-associative, shared cache to limit the selection of the victim block from a subset of available cache ways according to the cache partition. Other embodiments are described and claimed. |
