11.3 R4000 Cache Description

Cache Organization and Accessibility


This section describes the organization of the primary and secondary caches, including the manner in which they are mapped, the addressing (either virtual or physical) used to index the cache, and composition of the cache lines. The primary instruction and data caches are indexed with a virtual address (VA), while the secondary cache is indexed with a physical address (PA).
