buffered write-through
<memory management> A variation of write-through where the cache uses a
"write buffer" to hold data being written back to main memory. This frees the
cache to service read requests while the write is taking place. There is usually
only one stage of buffering so subsequent writes must wait until the first is
complete. Most accesses are reads so buffered write-through is only useful for
very slow main memory.
