as the cache memory is mory faster than RAM or hard disk ,but the main reason is that the cache memory has comparator and storage medium at the same time, the comparator checks if the address of the value being accessed is in the associative memory(a part of cache)or not, and the ordinary memory(another part of cache)has the data....
What else can I help you with?
What are the type of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What is the difference between cache memory disk cache?
memory cache is on memory RAM, disk Cache is on the hard drive. They make things to get faster. For instance Google Earth use this disk cache to show you offline images.
What are the two types of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
Does the hard disk offer volatile memory?
While a hard drive does have volatile memory on it in the form of a cache, the user doesn't have access to it.
Can ram serve as memory cache?
Yes but it has very important quotes. Cache memory is pretty fast (compared to something). Cache memory trends to be small but it is not imperative. Then, for example Main RAM on your PC is pretty faster than your Hard Disk Drive, you can "Cache" some common and useful files or data (storing temporary on Main RAM) in order to improve the delays that would be produced if you use them from your hard disk drive directly.
If a cache can be made as large as the device for which it is caching for instance a cache as large as a disk why not make it that large and eliminate the device?
Though the size of a cache has increased over time, so too has the size of hard disk. An economical comparison of cache versus hard disk space in a cost per MB analsysis will show that a cache would be significantly more expensive. Furthermore, cache in general is considered "temporary" or volatile storage which means that the contents of the storage device is lost when the system is powered off. A hard disk, on the other hand, is "long term" or non-volatile storage; when the system is powered off, the hard disk still safely holds the data stored on it.
What is main memory in computer architecture?
main memory is RAM.The words Memory,Buffer,Cache are all refers Ram. Which is Nearly 11,000 times faster than secondary memory (Hard Disk) in Random Access.
An area of computer temporarily holdas data while waqiting to be processed?
Usually the RAM as it temporarily stores information to be processed and stored into the hard disk, but sometimes if the disk is asked to store information really quickly more quickly than physically possible it will be stored into the cache of the hard disk
Is hard disk random access memory or sequantial access memory?
A hard disk is a Sequential Access Memory device or SAM
Why do you only use L1 L2 and L3 cache on the processor and not for primary memory?
Because those cache memories are super fast and super expensive. (same applies for SSD and HDD hard disks..)
Is cache memory equal to virtual memory?
No! ; Cache memory is integrated in the CPU. Virtual memory is a part of the hard drive that the OS use as ram memory, when running out of real ram memory.
What is disk caching?
Disk caching improves the time it takes to read and write from a hard drive. A disk cache is essentially RAM that is built into your hard drive.
