A variation of write-through where thecache uses a "write buffer" to hold data being written backto main memory. This frees the cache to service readrequests while the write is taking place. There is usuallyonly one stage of buffering so subsequent writes must waituntil the first is complete. Most accesses are reads sobuffered write-through is only useful for very slow mainmemory.
