Abstract
In a cache memory system, continuation registers are provided to abbreviated address data identifying the line position in the cache memory from which data is fetched. When data is fetched from a line in said cache memory, the bin number and line position identification of the line in the cache memory are saved in a continuation register. Then, subsequently, when data is fetched from the same line, it is fetched by a continuation request wherein the data saved in the continuation register is used to access the cache memory. The continuation registers provide the abbreviated address data for comparison in both PSC (program store compare) and OSC (operand store compare).
