Difference between L1 cache and L2 cache?
A memory cache, sometimes called a cache store or RAM cache, is a portion of memory made of high-speed static RAM (SRAM) instead of the slower and cheaper dynamic RAM (DRAM) used for main memory. Memory caching is effective because most programs access the same data or instructions over and over. By keeping as much of this information as possible in SRAM, the computer avoids accessing the slower DRAM. Short for Level 1 cache, a memory cache built into the microprocessor. Short for Level 2 cache, cache memory that is external to the microprocessor. In general, L2 cache memory, also called the secondary cache, resides on a separate chip from the microprocessor chip. As more and more processors begin to include L2 cache into their architectures, Level 3 cache is now the name for the extra cache built into motherboards between the microprocessor and the main memory. the l2 cache is now always built onto the processor for x86 archetechure
What is assosciative mapped cache?
An associative cache is a cache that has 1 or more extra slots for each place in memory. So if two pieces of memory map to the same place in cache, you can write both entries. In this case, you will need a cache replacement policy to determine which gets evicted first when it's full and new data arrives.
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.
How is the hardware cache different from a software cache?
it means that you have to look it up because hardware cache is easy. software cache is hard and never easy. so look it up and you will find them both
What is the size of L1 and L2 cache?
Usually the size of the L2 cache will be larger than the L1 cache so that if data hit in L 1 cache occurs, it can look for it in L 2 cache.. If data is not in both of the caches, then it goes to the main memory...
Is Buffer cache is hardware entity?
I think No. Because buffer cache is a part of kernel and kernel is a software entity thats why buffer cache is also a software entity. However the buffer and the cache both are hardware entity separatly.
What is the function of pin's1 and 20 in 8086 microprocessor?
Pins 1 and 20 in the 8086 microprocessor are (both) power and signal ground (GND).

Lower Egypt
Does the term 'first cousins' include paternal children or maternal children or both?
Both. The children of your father's siblings are your first cousins as are the children of your mother's siblings.
What is the technique of using the hard drive as though it were RAM?
Virtual Memory or Cache would both be acceptable.
