US Patent 10007615 Methods and apparatus for performing fast caching

Computer circuitry is provided for fast caching, which includes a memory, a processor, and a cache. The memory stores a data block. The processor retrieves the data block from the memory and determines whether to store the data block in the cache. The cache performs a first hash function on the data block in response to the processor determining to store the data block in the cache. The cache performs a second hash function on the data block if the first hash function results in a collision.
