Abstract:
Some implementations provide systems, devices, and methods for implementing a cache replacement policy. A memory request is issued for attribute information associated with a node in an acceleration data structure. The attribute information associated with the node is inserted into a cache entry of the cache and an age associated with the cache entry is set to a value based on the attribute information, in response to the memory request causing a cache miss.
