ABSTRACT:
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.
