Abstract
An improved cache and organization particularly suitable for superscalar architectures. The cache is organized around trace segments of running programs rather than an organization based on memory addresses. A single access to the cache memory may cross virtual address line boundaries. Branch prediction is integrally incorporated into the cache array permitting the crossing of branch boundaries with a single access.
