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
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.
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 miss penalty formula used in cache memory systems?
The miss penalty formula used in cache memory systems is: Miss Penalty Miss Rate x Miss Time.
How is the miss penalty in cache calculated?
The miss penalty in cache is calculated by determining the time it takes to access data from the main memory when a cache miss occurs. This time includes the latency of fetching the data from the main memory and loading it into the cache. The miss penalty is the additional time required when data is not found in the cache and needs to be retrieved from the main memory.
What is miss latency?
miss latency is the time (in cycles) the CPU waits when a miss happen in the cache. (the time needed to bring the data from the main memory to the cache).
Was the request processed with a cache hit or miss?
The request was processed with a cache hit.
How do you calculate the miss penalty in cache?
The miss penalty in cache is calculated by multiplying the miss rate by the time it takes to access data from the main memory. This helps determine the average time it takes to retrieve data when it is not found in the cache.
Why is cache memory needed?
Cache Memory is needed because Hardware implements cache as a block of memory for temporary storage likely to be used again.
What is cache hit and cache miss?
Type your answer here... in cache memory when the CPU refer to the memory and find the word in cache it is said to be hit or produced....... if the word is not found in cache it is in main memory it counts as a miss
What is the difference between a cache hit and a cache miss in terms of data retrieval efficiency?
A cache hit occurs when the data being requested is found in the cache memory, resulting in faster retrieval and improved efficiency. On the other hand, a cache miss happens when the data is not found in the cache, leading to slower retrieval from the main memory and decreased efficiency.
Can you explain the difference between a cache hit and a cache miss in terms of data retrieval efficiency"?
A cache hit occurs when the data being requested is found in the cache memory, resulting in faster retrieval and improved efficiency. On the other hand, a cache miss happens when the data is not found in the cache, leading to slower retrieval from the main memory and decreased efficiency.
