Disclosed is a system and method for use in a cache for suppressing modification of cache line. The system and method includes a processor and a memory operating cooperatively with a cache controller. The memory includes a coherence directory stored within a cache created to track at least one cache line in the cache via the cache controller. The processor instructs a cache controller to store a first data in a cache line in the cache. The cache controller tags the cache line based on the first data. The processor instructs the cache controller to store a second data in the cache line in the cache causing eviction of the first data from the cache line. The processor compares based on the tagging the first data and the second data and suppresses modification of the cache line based on the comparing of the first data and the second data.
