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 apparatus operative in response to a first predetermined type of command specifying the fetching of data words to set an indicator flag to a predetermined state. The apparatus conditions the replacement circuits in response to each subsequent predetermined type of command to bypass storage of the subsequently fetched data words when the indicator flag is in the predetermined state preventing the replacement of extensive numbers of data and instruction words already stored in cache during the execution of the instruction.
