A cache memory system includes a cache memory having a plurality of
entries associated with a plurality of information storage units. Each of
the information storage units is configured to store part of the
information stored in a main memory. Reference bit storage units store a
use status of entry data for a certain period of time. A hit detection
circuit is connected to the information storage units. The hit detection
circuit generates a hit signal to each of the reference bit storage units
when the entry data is determined to satisfy use conditions.
