cache in a VM

The vm I'm working with has a stack, using 16 bits to encode an integer 
or pointer to an object.

I'm adding a cache.  Addresses on the stack will now be 1/2 as small in 
bit size, and point to a location in cache.  The cache address will 
then contain the integer or object pointers.  The VM I'm working with 
now does not implement this, and I would appreciate any pointers to 
relevant articles.

Thanks,

tom
