Abstract
A computer architecture provides a memory cache that is accessed not by physical addresses but by virtual addresses directly from running processes. Ambiguities that can result from multiple virtual addresses mapping to a single physical address are handled by dynamically tracking synonyms and connecting a limited number of virtual synonyms mapping to the same physical address to a single key virtual address that is used exclusively for cache access.
