ABSTRACT:
A high performance microprocessor bus protocol for improving system throughput. The bus protocol enables overlapping read burst and write burst bus transactions to a cache, and interleaved bus transactions during external fetch cycles for missed cache lines. The bus protocol is implemented in a system comprising a CPU, and a secondary cache. The secondary cache comprises an SRAM array cache, and a cache controller. The CPU contains an instruction pipeline and a primary cache system.
