How to increase the data processing speed of a computer system

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of increasing data processing speed of a computer system comprising at least one microprocessor (1), a memory device (3) and cache memories (2, 4) connected to the processor. The cache memories 2 and 4 fetch data from addresses in the memory device 3 required by the processor 1, and one or several addresses in the memory device 3 not required by the processor 1; Arranged to fetch data from The present invention relates to a method in which a circuit called a stream detection circuit (5) is interconnected with cache memories (2, 4) to detect an address requested by the processor (1) in cache memory (2, 4), and Register whether or not is already present in the cache memory (2, 4), detecting one or several sequential address strings required by the processor (1) in the cache memory (2, 4), and Instructing the cache memory (2, 4) to fetch data from the memory device (3) corresponding to the next address upon detection of the address string and insert the address into the cache memory (2, 4). It features.
