cache is the type of memory within the CPU. It is extremely fast and is very small storage wise (it only comes in megabytes)

How do you calculate the cache size for a system?

To calculate the cache size for a system, you typically need to consider the cache line size, the number of cache sets, and the associativity of the cache. The formula for calculating cache size is: Cache Size (Cache Line Size) x (Number of Sets) x (Associativity). This formula helps determine the total amount of memory that can be stored in the cache for faster access by the system.


What factors impact the performance of cache?

There are many factors that can affect cache performance, such as cache size, cache block size, association and replacement algorithm


How can one determine whether a cache hit or miss has occurred?

A cache hit occurs when the requested data is found in the cache memory, while a cache miss occurs when the data is not found in the cache and needs to be retrieved from the main memory. One can determine whether a cache hit or miss has occurred by checking if the requested data is present in the cache memory.


What is cache latency?

delay to access the data in cache in context of processor's speed. Time to access the requested data in cache , at that time processor have to wait .. is called cache latency.


Can you provide an example of a cache hit and miss scenario?

A cache hit occurs when the requested data is found in the cache memory, resulting in faster access time. For example, if a web page is visited frequently, it may be stored in the cache, leading to a cache hit when accessed again. On the other hand, a cache miss happens when the data is not found in the cache, requiring the system to retrieve it from the main memory or disk, which takes longer.

What is the difference between cache vs cold cache vs hot cache vs warm cache vs cache hit vs cache miss?

Firstly, it sounds like you are asking for general definitions, rather than differential definitions, which is problematic when the definitions are differential and context specific. Cache miss: not in cache, must be loaded from the original source Cache hit: was loaded from cache (no implication of what "type" of cache was hit). cold cache: The slowest cache hit possible. The actual loading mechanism depends on the type of cache (CPU cache could refer to an L2 (or L3) hit, disk cache could refer to a RAM hit on the drive, web cache could refer to a drive cache hit) hot cache: The fastest cache hit possible. Depends on mechanism described (CPU could be L1 cache, disk could be OS cache hit, web cache could be RAM hit in cache device) Warm cache: Anything between, like L2 when L1 is hot and L3 is cold. It is a less precise term and often used to imply "hot" when the performance is closer to "cold."
