The replacement algorithm works as fol- lows


For its on-chip cache, the Intel 80486 uses a replacement algorithm referred to as pseudo least recently used. Associated with each of the 128 sets of four lines (labeled L0, L1, L2, L3) are three bits B0, B1, and B2. The replacement algorithm works as fol- lows: When a line must be replaced, the cache will first determine whether the most recent use was from L0 and L1 or L2 and L3. Then the cache will determine which of the pair of blocks was least recently used and mark it for replacement. Figure 4.15 illus- trates the logic.
