SRAM or Static RAM is the fastest, and most expensive type of RAM available in computers. it is used in the L1, L2, L3, and L4 cache on your processor and chip-set (or however many L-caches your system has). it is the fastest type of RAM because it does not have to be refreshed as frequently as DRAM.

What is the cache memory required for the system to be fast?

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 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 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)


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 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..
