What is a Web Cache?
A Web cache is a temporary memory in your browser where temporary information about the web site you are visiting are stored. Information like login id, password, previous history of pages you visited etc would be stored in the cache...
Why not make cache larger?
A cache is intended to speed things up. The larger the cache, the slower it performs. If it becomes slower to access the cache than the memory itself, it defeats the purpose of having a cache.
What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multi-core processor?
L3 cache
The temporary file storage area of a Web browser is also called a?
Browser Cache
What is the function of cache memory?
Cache memory is used to hold a copy of the data from the most frequently accessed memory locations to minimise calculation time. For example, a CPU's cache will hold this data so that it doesn't have to call data from the RAM for every calculation it makes, and merely draws from its local cache.
Which is the fastest way a computer can access information?
By way of an internal L1 Cache
What size is the hard drive's internal cache?
This hard drive has a 100Gb internal cache.
The cache on the processor chip is called?
Internal Cache
Is L3 cache and internal cache are the same?
Not the same.
What was the first Intel CPU to contain an external cache?
The first Intel CPU to feature external cache was the Intel Pentium Pro. External cache is also referred to as L2 cache, while internal cache is called L1 cache.
What is the difference between internal and external cache?
Internal cache is stored in a reserved area of the RAM of your computer. External cache is also called secondary cache or level 2 cache memory. It is external to the microprocessor and is stored on a separate chip.
The portion of the internal bus that connects the processor to the internal memory cache?
Back-Side Bus
Why does the speed of a computer increase as soon as we increase the size of the cache memory?
Basically for the same reason that cache itself helps increase the speed. If there is more cache memory, the computer will have more information readily available, and there will be less cases where the information CAN'T be found in cache, and the CPU needs to access actual RAM, which is slower (or whatever other source of data the cache is supposed to speed up).
The portion of the internal bus that connects the processor to the internal memory cache is called the bus?
Back-side
When is an IRQ assigned to a device or controller?
The CPU has its own internal bus for communication the internal cache
The portion of the internal bus that connects the processor to the internal memory cache is called the?
back-side bus (BSB)
The portion of the internal bus that connects the processor to the internal memory cache is called the back-side bus?
