  • Patent number: 4729092
    Abstract: Data storage apparatus comprises a main store, for example a microprogram store, with an associated address generating circuit. In order to extend the capacity of the store, an additional store is provided, but because of physical limitations this is remote from the main store. To reduce delays in accessing data items from the additional store, a prediction circuit predicts the address of the next item to be required from the additional store and prefetches it. A control circuit checks whether the prefetched item is the correct one and, if it is not, causes a temporary hold-up in the operation of the address generation circuit to allow the correct data item to be fetched.
