What are the two types of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What type of RAM is used for cache memory?
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
Memory cache is referred to as?
memory cache is a small amount of RAM (referred to as static RAM) that is much faster than the rest of the RAM, which is called dynamic RAM (DRAM).
A memory cache is small amount of RAM that is much faster than the rest of RAM?
A memory cache is small amount of RAM that is much faster than the rest of RAM?
Is cache memory equal to virtual memory?
No! ; Cache memory is integrated in the CPU. Virtual memory is a part of the hard drive that the OS use as ram memory, when running out of real ram memory.
Why is cache memory more expensive than hard disk?
as the cache memory is mory faster than RAM or hard disk ,but the main reason is that the cache memory has comparator and storage medium at the same time, the comparator checks if the address of the value being accessed is in the associative memory(a part of cache)or not, and the ordinary memory(another part of cache)has the data....
Is Cache memory generally slower than RAM?
Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory. Cache Memory generally comes in smaller size (3MB, 6MB etc) than the RAM (512 MB, 1GB,2GB.....)
Which memory is optional to start a computer system?
Random access memory (ram)
What is made up with cache memory?
S RAM...static ram
If there is L2 cache in the processor housing and additional cache on the motherboard the cache on the motherboard is called cache?
The motherboard doesn't contain cache. The chips do, but the motherboard contain RAM modules. Like when you hear a PC has 512MB of memory. The cache (memory on the chip) follows lines called a bus to the RAM (memory on the motherboard).Answer: Level 3
Does cache memory has a greater capacity than RAM?
No.
