Summary:Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for implementing scheduling an execution process to an execution processor cluster to take advantage of reduced latency with a victim cache. The computing device may determine a first processor cluster with a first remote shared cache memory having an available shared cache memory space. To properly schedule the execution process, the computing device may determine a second processor cluster with a lower latency to the first remote shared cache memory than an execution processor cluster scheduled with the execution process. The second processor cluster may be scheduled the execution process, thus becoming the execution processor cluster, based on a size of the available shared cache memory space and the latency of the second processor cluster to the first remote shared cache memory. The available shared cache memory space may be used as the victim cache for the execution process.
