Abstract:
A method, programmed medium and system are provided for enabling a core's cache capacity to be increased by using the caches of the disabled or non-enabled cores on the same chip. Caches of disabled or non-enabled cores on a chip are made accessible to store cachelines for those chip cores that have been enabled, thereby extending cache capacity of enabled cores.
