 CACHE MEMORY Definition
We define CACHE MEMORY |
CACHE MEMORY - Generally a small chunk of fast memory that sits between either 1) a smaller, faster chunk of memory and a bigger, slower chunk of memory, or 2) a microprocessor and a bigger, slower chunk of memory. The purpose of cache memory is to provide a bridge from something that's comparatively very fast to something that's comparatively slow. Most microprocessors have built-in cache memory that holds some of the information from main memory. When the processor needs the information it takes it from the speedy cache instead of the slower main memory. Cache memory GREATLY increases the speed of a computer by storing data that is most often accessed. |
