Abstract

Encachement apparatus consisting of first and second caches responsive to first and second keys, respectively, for outputting first and second data therefrom. In one embodiment, the second cache which includes a stack having a plurality of frames, outputs data contained in a current frame thereof in response to a second key which is obtained from the first cache. The data outputted from each cache is received substantially simultaneously at a combiner which combines such data to produce the desired third data from the dual cache system.
