Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A general-purpose graphics processor comprising:
a cache memory including multiple memory banks;
a cache controller coupled with the cache memory, the cache controller including a dynamic hash unit to select, based on a first hash function and an address associated with a memory access, one or more of the multiple memory banks to store data associated with the memory access; and
cache monitor hardware to monitor an access pattern of the multiple memory banks, the cache monitor hardware further to:
request the dynamic hash unit to select a second hash function for use to select the one or more of the multiple memory banks, the cache monitor hardware to request the selection of the second hash function in response to detection of a bank access pattern disparity over a threshold; and
request the dynamic hash unit to select a third hash function in response to a determination that a temperature of one or more of the multiple memory banks exceeds a threshold, the third hash function different from the second hash function.
