Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for increasing the throughput of multi-bank cache memory systems accessible by multiple clients. Requests for data from a client may be stored in a pending buffer associated with the client for a first cache memory bank. For each of the requests for data, a determination may be made as to if the request is able to be fulfilled by a cache memory within the first cache memory bank regardless of a status of requests by the client for data at a second cache memory bank. Data requested from the cache memory by the client may be stored in a read data buffer associated with the client according to an order of receipt of the requests for data in the pending buffer.
