Abstract
A computer memory system which includes a relatively slow access main memory unit and a relatively fast access smaller cache memory unit, the memory units being controlled by a central processing unit, and which further includes control circuitry for accessing the cache memory unit for all data words addressed by the central processing unit, and when an addressed word is not available in the cache memory, automatically transferring the addressed word from the main memory to the cache memory, the control being such that when such an addressed word is transferred from the main memory to the cache memory, adjacent words in the main memory are simultaneously transferred to the cache memory to be readily available to the central processor unit.
