Cache is a high speed buffer memory for storing automatically small areas of frequently used memory, so that the machine does not have to wait for the full memory access time every time it needs to access the data in those areas.
Most computers have separate but similar cache memories for data and instructions. This allows the same access time advantages for both, but as data and instructions are usually in different places in memory eliminates any conflicts in usage.
Some computers have multiple levels of different speed cache with different sizes. These are typically referred to as L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, etc. with L1 being the fastest, most expensive, smallest size cache closest to the processor; the others are successively closer to the main memory.

What type of RAM is used for cache memory?
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
Which type of memory is primarily used in cache memory?
Cache memory is composed of 2 types of memory:RAM (Random Access Memory) this is used to store the data copied from main RAM as a series of Cache LinesCAM (Content Addressable Memory) this is used to store the main RAM address for each Cache Line, so the data in Cache Memory can be found and associated with main RAM. The CAM also typically contains special flags (e.g. the "dirty" bit - indicating that the Cache Line has been modified and will have to be written back to main RAM).Cache memory also contains controller logic to coordinate the necessary actions.The first computer built to have what we now call Cache memory was the IBM Stretch 7030 introduced in 1961. However IBM at the time called this feature "Virtual memory". (Confusing isn't it?)
What type of memory is used for L1 cache?
Static RAM or SRAM
What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on die?
Level 2 cache (L2 cache)
A small block of memory used by processors to store those instructions most recently or most often used is called?
cache
What type of RAM is used for cache memory?
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
Cache memory and register memory?
Register memory are smaller in size than cache memory and registers are faster than cache..Cache memory store the frequently used data from main memory..
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.
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 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.
What is stored in cache memory?
The data that are frequently used goes in the cache memory...
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 cache memory necessary?
The cache memory is used to store the frequently used data in the main memory in order to avoid the elapse of the seek time taken to read that data in the main memory.. So, to improve the performance of a PC, its necessary to have cache memory.
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 stores frequently used instructions and data?
Memory cache stores frequently used instructions and data on a computer. Cache memory is stored on a memory chip in an area of the RAM.
How RAM is different from Cache memory?
cache memory saves programs that you last used so that is takes less time when you click on a program to load it, cache memory is similar to when you save where you left off in a game. ram is the memory that is used when you run programs on your computer.
Is cache memory visible?
No cache memory is not visible.....
