Cache memory is special, high-speed static memory that is used to reduce the amount of accesses to dynamic RAM. While cache memory used to be on the motherboard, it is now most commonly found inside the CPU. Static memory is larger, costlier to produce, and uses more current than DRAM. But static memory is the fastest type of memory there is and it doesn't need refreshed (so long as the power is maintained). So cache is a compromise to store the most used code and data to reduce the access to the slower DRAM.
What else can I help you with?
Is cache a block of high speed memory?
Yes ,i think cache memory is very fast memory in conputer system.
What is cache memory ram?
Cache Memory is small fast memory that stores instructions and data frequently used in processing such that when is required, Processor can quickly fetch data rather than reading it from slow storage media.
Use of cache memory?
The CPU uses cache memory to store instructions that are repeatedly required to run programs, improving overall system speed. The advantage of cache memory is that the CPU does not have to use the motherboard's system bus for data transfer. Whenever data must be passed through the system bus, the data transfer speed slows to the motherboard's capability. The CPU can process data much faster by avoiding the bottleneck created by the system bus.
What is a cache?
Answer:- The Cache memory is placed between the CPU and the main memory. It is a fast speed memory and is expensive and faster than the main memory. Cache memory is used to store the frequently accessed data of main memory. The instructions that are frequently used by the CPU are stored in the cache memory. It is used to reduce the average access time for address, instructions or data, which are normally stored in the main memory. Cache memory increases the operating speed of the system. But is much costlier than main memory. From economic considerations, the capacity of the cache memory is much less as compared to main memory..
Is the word cache a fast central processing unit?
NO, a cache is a fast-access temporary data storage area (memory)
What is the objective of cache only memory architecture?
Cache memory is the high speed memories which are repeatedly requested by the Cache client (CPU). Whenever the requested data from the cpu is present in the cache, it directly supply the data and is known as cache hit(fast) and when the data is not accessible in cache then cache access the block of the main memory and feed to the CPU and it is termed as cache miss (slow).
What is L1 cache?
Fast access memory which is inside the actual CPU chip.
What is the purpose of the cache?
Cache is a special kind of memory which is can be used as a spare to store data
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 do you know about cache?
cache is the type of memory within the CPU. It is extremely fast and is very small storage wise (it only comes in megabytes)
Advantages of cache memory?
Cache memory is a fast memory which act as a buffer memory between the main memory and the processor.It helps to increase the overall speed of the system.The data which are repeatedly used during the processing of information are loaded on to the cache memory so that each time the processor don't have to access the same from the main memory.Due to this the CPU doesn't have to use the mother board's system bus for data transfer.With the help of cache memory we can reduce the problem of bottle neck of the system bus.
Difference between cache memory and associative memory?
There is no term "associated memory" in any tech dictionary. Cache memory is the L1 and L2 you see when you buy a PC. L1 cache is a small memory for the CPU to use. Instead of going all the way back to RAM get informaton is has some information stored in the cache so it can get to it faster. So if you buy a computer then look at the size of the cache. The larger the cache the faster the system will run since the CPU will be able to access that much more faster.
