CACHE Memory INTRODUCTION A CPU cache is a cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average time to access memory. The cache is a smaller‚ faster memory which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations. Most CPUs have different independent caches‚ including instruction and data caches‚ where the data cache is usually organized as a hierarchy of more cache levels (L1‚ L2 etc.) When the processor needs to read from or write to
