I'd like to read more about the purpose(s) of secondary cache
in single- and multi-processor systems.  Any pointers?  I missed
the thread on memory hierarchy, so if it was covered in there
maybe someone could email some of it to me.

It would seem to me that secondary cache could play a number of
different roles, but I would like to read about it some more
before speculating...   thanks!
