A method for selecting a line to replace in an inclusive set-associative cache memory system which is based on a least recently used replacement policy but is enhanced to detect and give special treatment to the reloading of a line that has been recently cast out. A line which has been reloaded after having been recently cast out is assigned a special encoding which temporarily gives priority to the line in the cache so that it will not be selected for replacement in the usual least recently used replacement process. This method of line selection for replacement improves system performance by providing better hit rates in the cache hierarchy levels above, by ensuring that heavily used lines in the levels above are not aged out of the levels below due to lack of use.

In a nonvolatile memory with block management system, data are written to blocks and are erasable block by block. At any time a pool of blocks are open for storing data concurrently. The number of blocks in the pool is limited. A replacement system allows new blocks to be introduced into the pool without exceeding the limit. In particular, different classes of blocks in the pool each has its own replacement rule, such as closing a least active block before being replaced. In this way, possible inefficiency and premature closure of blocks in the pool can be avoided.
