Hi, guys,

I have a quick question about the cache victim's ready time issues. I read
the source file "cache_impl.hh" and found that in the function
"allocateBlock", the implementation directly evict the victim block ( or put
it into the "writebacks" list if it is dirty) without considering the
victim's "whenReady" field. Thus, I am wondering if the case that a victim's
"whenReady" is greater than "curTick"+"hitLatency" exists. If the case does
potentially exist, I suspect that directly evicting the block off the cache
without adding extra latency will incur inaccuracy in computation. I don't
know if my understanding is correct, and I would greatly appreciate your
help!

Thanks,
Leonard
