Network On Chip With Caching Restrictions For Pages Of Computer Memory

A network on chip ('NOC') that includes integrated processor ('IP') blocks, routers, memory communications controllers, and network interface controllers, each IP block adapted to a router through a memory communications controller and a network interface controller, a multiplicity of computer processors, each computer processor implementing a plurality of hardware threads of execution; and computer memory, the computer memory organized in pages and operatively coupled to one or more of the computer processors, the computer memory including a set associative cache, the cache comprising cache ways organized in sets, the cache being shared among the hardware threads of execution, each page of computer memory restricted for caching by one replacement vector of a class of replacement vectors to particular ways of the cache, each page of memory further restricted for caching by one or more bits of a replacement vector classification to particular sets of ways of the cache.
