ABSTRACT:
A least recently used replacement level generator is constructed to include n number of register stages connected in tandem. A comparison circuit associated with each stage except the last stage compare the contents of that stage with an input level value which is to be loaded into the input stage. In the absence of an identical comparison, each stage generates a shift enable signal which is passed on to the next succeeding stage. An identical comparison inhibits the generation of the shift enable signal. Therefore, when a clock signal is applied to the device, register stages, in the presence of a control signal, cause the input level to be loaded into the input stage while the level contents of the register stages are simultaneously shifted through successive stages including the register stage whose contents are identical to the input level under the control of the shift enable signal. The contents of the output register stage accurately and instantaneously defines the least recently used replacement level for use by a cache memory.
