ABSTRACT:
In a time-shared bus computer system with processors having cache memories, an adjustable invalidation queue for use in the cache memories. The invalidation queue has adjustable upper and lower limit positions that define when the queue is logically full and logically empty, respectively.

The computer maintenance system sets the upper and lower limits at system initialization time to optimize system performance under maximum bus traffic conditions.
