Methods and systems which, for example, reduce energy usage in cache memories are described. Cache location information regarding the location of cachelines which are stored in a tracked portion of a memory hierarchy is stored in a cache location table. Address tags are stored with corresponding location information in the cache location table to associate the address tag with the cacheline and its cache location information. When a cacheline is moved to a new location in the memory hierarchy, the cache location table is updated so that the cache location information indicates where the cacheline is located within the memory hierarchy.
