Execution of storage-immediate and storage-storage instructions within cache buffer storage

A method for accelerated processing of storage related instructions which involve data stored in a cache unit including machine executed steps of:

• processing one of said storage related instructions in order to determine whether any required operands is identified by a cache address in a data array in the cache unit;
• copying each of the required operands located in a cache buffer into a read buffer;
• loading all of the required operands including the required operands in the read buffer into a logic execution unit located within the cache unit without having to transfer the required operands from the cache unit to an execution unit associated with a central processing unit;
• copying a result produced entirely within the cache unit, by the logic execution unit, into a write buffer;
• and
• transferring the result from the write buffer into the data array for storage in the cache unit.
