[Gems-users] changing the replacement policy

Subject: [Gems-users] changing the replacement policy
I was trying to change the cache replacement policy for MSI_MOSI_CMP_directory
to random and I ran into problems. It looks like the operation of the protocol
is dependent on the replacement policy being LRU. Multiple calls to cacheProbe
should return the same candidate for replacement. 
Is that true or I am missing something? Are there other coherence protocols
which do not have this problem?

Thanks.
