Abstract

A high speed pseudo-, 8-, 16-, or greater, ported cache memory, and associated effective address generation scheme. Based upon either two-port building blocks, or twice as many single-port building blocks, which are interleaved, the cache memory is arranged as a functional equivalent to a true 8-, 16-, or greater ported interleaved cache memory.
