发明名称 Apparatus and method for permitting reading of data from an external memory when data is stored in a write buffer in the event of a cache read miss
摘要 A microprocessor is described which includes on a single substrate a central processing unit (CPU), write buffer and cache memory. The write buffer includes storage in each of its sections for a bit which indicates a hit/miss condition for the write cycle data stored in that section of the write buffer. If all these bits indicate that the new data in the write buffer has also been written into the cache memory, then read cycles are permitted before the data in the write buffer is written to external memory.
