ACTIVITY QUEUE FOR A CACHE STORE

摘要

A first in-first out buffer memory coupled to a system bus receives all information transferred over the bus. Logic associated with the buffer memory tests if the information received is intended to update main memory or is in response to a cache request. The information is written into cache if the main memory address location is stored in a cache directory. The information received in response to a cache request is stored in a cache data buffer. Other information is discarded.
