Victim Cache

Sector Cache

A. Organziation 

1) Sectors
2) Subsectors
3) Validity Bit

B. Load Procedure 

1) Sector miss
2) Subsector miss

C. Advantages

Sector Caches are organized into sectors and subsectors. A sector is a collection of smaller subsectors. Subsectors are similar to lines in a direct-mapped cache. Each subsector has a "validity bit" which tells whether or not that subsector has been loaded into cache from the main memory.
