In this paper, the author proposed an approach to address the speed gap between a fast core and a slow one. Here the author used a slave which automatically accumulates to itself words that come from a slower main memory, and keeps them for subsequent use without it being necessary for the penalty of main memory access to be included again. A very high speed slave memory of small size can accumulate instructions out of main memories and since these instructions often occur in loops, an appreciable gain of speed could be obtained.
To some extent, the slave works like cache, since it was written in 1960s.
