fully associative cache
     
        a cache where data from any address can be stored in any cache
        location.  the whole address must be used as the tag.  all
        tags must be compared simultaneously associatively with the
        requested address and if one matches then its associated data
        is accessed.  this requires an associative memory to hold the
        tags which makes this form of cache more expensive.  it does
        however solve the problem of contention for cache locations
        cache conflict since a block need only be flushed when the
        whole cache is full and then the block to flush can be
        selected in a more efficient way.
