    • Following a cache miss by an operation, the address for the operation is transmitted on the bus coupling the cache to lower levels of the storage hierarchy. A portion of the address including the index field is transmitted during a first bus cycle, and may be employed to begin directory lookups in lower level storage devices before the address tag is received. The remainder of the address is transmitted during subsequent bus cycles, which should be in time for address tag comparisons with the congruence class elements. To allow multiple directory lookups to be occurring concurrently in a pipelined directory, a portion of multiple addresses for several data access operations, each portion including the index field for the respective address, may be transmitted during the first bus cycle or staged in consecutive bus cycles, with the remainders of each address—including the cache tags—transmitted during the subsequent bus cycles. This allows directory lookups utilizing the index fields to be processed concurrently within a lower level storage device for multiple operations, with the address tags being provided later, but still timely for tag comparisons at the end of the directory lookup. Where the lower level storage device operates at a higher frequency than the bus, overall latency is reduced and directory bandwidth is more efficiently utilized.
    • 在操作的高速缓存未命中之后,操作的地址在将高速缓存耦合到存储层级的较低级别的总线上传输。 包括索引字段的地址的一部分在第一总线周期期间被发送,并且可以用于在接收到地址标签之前开始下级存储设备中的目录查找。 在随后的总线周期期间传送地址的其余部分,这些时间应与地址标签与同余类元素进行比较。 为了允许在流水线目录中同时发生多个目录查找,可以在第一个总线周期期间发送多个数据访问操作的多个地址的一部分,每个部分包括相应地址的索引字段,或者在连续的总线周期中分段 ,每个地址的剩余部分,包括在后续总线周期期间发送的缓存标签。 这允许使用索引字段的目录查找在较低级存储设备中同时处理以用于多个操作,其中地址标签稍后提供,但是在目录查找结束时仍然适合于标签比较。 在较低级存储设备以比总线更高的频率工作的地方,总体延迟降低,目录带宽更有效地利用。
