As a result, unnecessary wait-states are developed when instructions or data are being fetched from the main memory.
A cache memory is basically developed to increase the efficiency of the system and to maximise the utilisation of the entire computational speed of the processor.
Pipeline burst cache gained widespread adoption starting with the release of the Intel 430FX chipset in 1995.
The pipeline burst cache is based on two principles of operation, namely: In this mode, the memory contents are prefetched before they are requested.
Using the technique of Bursting, the transfers of successive data bytes can take place without specifying the remaining addresses.
The pipelining operation suggests that the transfer of data and instructions from or to the cache is divided into stages.
