A accordance determining circuit (113) that determines whether or not a cache address CA required in updating a cache data memory (111) and a cache tag memory (112) accords with the address of data read from an external memory (130) is provided. When the accordance determining circuit (150) has determined an accordance state, a register (115) is enabled so that cache data read from the external memory (130) is stored in a register (115) and supplied to a cache requester (101). Alternatively, a means for generating an address corresponding to the next data of data to be updated in updating the cache data memory (111) and (112) is provided so as to determine the cache status of an address being generated. Thus, if the determined result represents that the cache data has not been stored, a plurality of data are updated at a time. Consequently, the mis-hit penalty time can be reduced and the hit ratio can be improved.
A cache memory apparatus for reading data at a high speed corresponding to an input address information, the cache memory apparatus coupled to a main memory for storing a plurality of data each corresponding to a plurality of address information, each address information including a first address information and a second address information, and the cache memory apparatus having a first data group which is a part of the plurality of data, the cache memory apparatus comprising:
