Other capabilities of the tertiary interface include block write, tag invalidate, and tag probe. For
details of these transactions as well as detailed timing waveforms for all the tertiary transactions,
see the R5000 or RM7000 Bus Interface Specifications. The tertiary cache tag can easily be
implemented with standard components such as the Motorola MCM69T618.
The RM7000 cache attributes for the instruction, data, internal secondary, and optional external
tertiary caches are summarized in Table 6.
