Handling virtual memory address synonyms in a multi-level cache hierarchy structure. The multi-level cache hierarchy structure having a first level, L1 cache, the L1 cache being operatively connected to a second level, L2 cache split into a L2 data cache directory and a L2 instruction cache. The L2 data cache directory including directory entries having information of data currently stored in the L1 cache, the L2 cache being operatively connected to a third level, L3 cache. The first level cache is virtually indexed while the second and third levels are physically indexed. Counter bits are allocated in a directory entry of the L2 data cache directory for storing a counter number. The directory entry corresponds to at least one first L1 cache line. A first search is performed in the L1 cache for a requested virtual memory address, wherein the virtual memory address corresponds to a physical memory address tag at a second L1 cache line.
