Title: Dynamic remapping of cache lines

Abstract

A method of managing cache memory includes accessing a cache memory at a primary index that corresponds to an address specified in an access request. A determination is made that accessing the cache memory at the primary index does not result in a cache hit on a cache line with an error-free status. In response to this determination, the primary index is mapped to a secondary index and data for the address is written to a cache line at the secondary index.
