ABSTRACT:
A cache unit includes a cache store organized into a number of levels to provide a fast access to instructions and data words. Directory circuits, associated with the cache store, contain address information identifying those instructions and data words stored in the cache store. The cache unit has at least one instruction register for storing address and level signals for specifying the location of the next instruction to be fetched and transferred to the processing unit. Replacement circuits are included which, during normal operation, assign cache locations sequentially for replacing old information with new information. The cache unit further includes detection apparatus for detecting a conflict condition resulting in an improper assignment. The detection apparatus, upon detecting such a condition, advances the relacement circuits forward for assigning the next sequential group of locations or level inhibiting it from making its normal location assignment. It also inhibits the directory circuits from writing the necessary information therein required for making the location assignment and prevents the information which produced the conflict from being written into cache store when received from memory.
