WHAT IS CACHE MEMORY?
In computing, a cache, antememory1, or buffer2 is a hardware or
software component that stores data so that future requests for that
data can be served more quickly; Data stored in a cache can be the result
of a previous calculation or duplicating data stored elsewhere usually
gives faster access speed. A cache hit occurs when the requested data
can be found in the cache, while a cache crash occurs when the
requested data is missing. Reading the cache is faster than recalculating
a result or reading from a slower data store; Therefore, the more
requests that can be served from the cache, the faster the system will
run.

A memory cache refers to the fast-


access memory of a central processing unit (CPU), which temporarily
stores the recent data of the processed (information).

Cache memory is a special memory buffer that computers have, which


works in a similar way to main memory, but is smaller in size and faster
to access. It arose when
memories were no longer able
to keep up with the speed of the
processor, so it can be said that
it is an auxiliary
memory, which
has great speed and efficiency, and serves for the
microprocessor to reduce the time of access to data located in the main
memory that are used more frequently

Cache Types

The cache drive is a special high-speed storage system. It can be either a


reserved area of main memory or a standalone high-speed storage
device.

There are three types of cache frequently used on personal computers:


disk cache, track cache, and web cache.
