I think your list is going to get huge.

Cache has been around for quite some time - the "first" implementation
was in either a late model S/360 or early S/370 (I can't remember, but
around 1970 anyway). Originally it was to be called the "muffer" - memory
buffer. Look in *IBMs 360 and Early 370 Systems* from MIT press (you have
a copy, RIGHT?).
