I'd like to read more about the purpose(s) of secondary cache in single- and multi-processor systems. Any pointers? I missed the thread on memory hierarchy, so if it was covered in there maybe someone could email some of it to me. It would seem to me that secondary cache could play a number of different roles, but I would like to read about it some more before speculating... thanks! Steve Croft stevec@water.ca.gov P.S. Note the email address is different from the address where I posted this. Please mail responses to stevec@water.ca.gov.
