Abstract

See full text

A 'bit-sliced' construction cache module dictates dual TAG RAM Structures and dual invalidation queues, yielding enhanced performance: putting half the TAG array in each of two cache arrays, and allowing each to handle only one-half of the possible address values. Preferably, one half-module handles ZERO least-significant bits and the other handles ONE least-significant bits. Processor operations and invalidation operations can be 'overlapped', and even operate simultaneously.
