Microprocessor with selective cache memory

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract, A signal processing system is described which has a processor, a random access memory for storage of data a read-, only memory for storage of both coefficients and instructions and a selective cache memory for storage of instructions that require high performance, and their associated buses. Instructions selected by the program are stored in the selective cache memory during their first call from the readonly memory for use later in the program. An address sequencer can be used as a control unit for executing the data stored in the selective cache memory. It generates a sequence of addresses repetitively, counts the number of iterations of the sequence of addresses, and informs …
