No. It's a kind of RAM integrated into your processor. The cache memory is usually small and is used to store data that is being used by the processor because accessing the main RAM directly will be slower.
In multiple-processor systems, a problem called cache incoherence can occur when two or more processors access the same region, modifies the data in different ways and not immediately writing back the data to the main RAM. It will cause two different versions of the same region existing simultaneously, causing problems. That is why mutexes or other locks should be used when accessing shared memory.

∙ 9y agoCache is a type of memory (physically as in chips or dynamically allocated as part of a operating system), but cache memory is NOT ROM as generally cache memory is rewritable (volatile memory). You see this feature in computer processors (you may see something like L2 or L3 cache) or mechanical hard disks (e.g. 8MB cache).

What are the type 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 is the rom full from?
In a computer, the full form of ROM is Read Only Memory.
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 is the expanded form of RAM and ROM?
RAM is random access memory and ROM is read-only memory.
Which area of the computer holds the data and instruction that are about to be used by the central processing unit?
MAIN MEMORY
Is cache memory is the main memory of cmputer system?
NO...The cache is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used main memory locations. As long as most memory accesses are cached memory locations, the average latency of memory accesses will be closer to the cache latency than to the latency of main memory.Thus Cache memory is not main memory of computer system.--- form Wiki
Full form of ROM?
Read-only memory
Does a rewritable CD acts as a ROM or RAM?
Neither. Both ROM and RAM are memory. A CD is a form of storage, which has nothing to do with memory.
Cache memory and register memory?
Register memory are smaller in size than cache memory and registers are faster than cache..Cache memory store the frequently used data from main memory..
Is cache memory visible?
No cache memory is not visible.....
