Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosed computer-implemented method includes locating, from a processor storage, a partial tag corresponding to a memory request for a line stored in a memory having a tiered memory cache and in response to a partial tag hit for the memory request, locating, from a partition of the tiered memory cache indicated by the partial tag, a full tag for the line. The method also includes fetching, in response to a full tag hit, the requested line from the partition of the tiered memory cache. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
