I'm doing some research for a client and am
seeking out information on
computers or processors prior to 1983 that implemented cache memory in the
processor.
Can anyone think of any other than the following:
I think your list is going to get huge.
Cache has been around for quite some time - the "first" implementation
was in either a late model S/360 or early S/370 (I can't remember, but
around 1970 anyway). Originally it was to be called the "muffer" - memory
buffer. Look in *IBMs 360 and Early 370 Systems* from MIT press (you have
a copy, RIGHT?).
