Pipeline burst cache

In computer engineering, the creation and development of the pipeline burst cache memory is an integral part in the development of the superscalar architecture. It was introduced in the mid 1990s as a replacement for the Synchronous Burst Cache and the Asynchronous Cache and is still in use till date in computers. It basically increases the speed of the operation of the cache memory by minimizing the wait states and hence the processor computing speed. Implementing the techniques of pipelining and bursting, high performance computing is assured. It works on the principle of parallelism, the very principle on which the development of superscalar architecture rests. Pipeline burst cache can be found in DRAM controllers and chipset designs.
