Principle of locality relate to the use of multiple memory levels?
Temporal Locality: Concept that a resource will be referenced at one point in time will be referenced again. Cache miss traffic decreases fast when cache size increases and temporal locality determines sensitivity to cache size.Spatial Locality: Concept that likelihood of referencing a resource is higher if a resource near it was referenced. Cache miss traffic does not increase much when line size increases. Spatial locality determines sensivity to line size.
