A cache is a place to store recently used data. The cache is comprised of faster memory than the memory it caches. The philosophy is that memory that is used is more apt to be used again, so the memory is stored in cache using a most recently used algorithm. This results in faster performance.

∙ 14y agoCache 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.

∙ 6y agoCache can refer to a number of things. One type of cache found in a laptop is located inside the CPU chip. It is used to hold the most used code and data so it doesn't have to be loaded from the regular RAM as much. Since cache memory is designed to be very fast, it speeds up the most common instructions and data the CPU uses. The exact type and amount depends on the exact laptop.
Cache is also what temporary storage for web pages is called. While the hard drive is slower than RAM, it is still faster than the internet. So it is more efficient to store the most commonly used files from the Internet on the hard drive than downloading them over and over. That is especially true of Flash components, AVI files, larger images, and Java packages.

∙ 12y agoCache Memory is the synonym for CPU Cache. This CPU cache helps reduce the amount of time to access the main memory of your computer. The Cache will contain copies of the memory you most frequently look at so it saves a lot of time. The Cache is a lot smaller than your computer memory as it only contains a slight portion.

What stores frequently used instructions and data?
Memory cache stores frequently used instructions and data on a computer. Cache memory is stored on a memory chip in an area of the RAM.
What is the purpose of the registers and cache memory in the computer system?
The register is a collection of different settings and configurations for the operating system. Cache memory is a way for the computer to load webpages faster by storing them in RAM.
Which memory is optional to start a computer system?
Random access memory (ram)
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
