buffered write-through
Jump to user comments
memory management A variation of write-through where the
cache uses a "write buffer" to hold data being written back
to main memory. This frees the cache to service read
requests while the write is taking place. There is usually
only one stage of buffering so subsequent writes must wait
until the first is complete. Most accesses are reads so
buffered write-through is only useful for very slow main
memory.
