In modern multi-core processors, multiple cores operate in parallel, each with its own cache to store frequently accessed data. These caches are designed to reduce the time it takes for a processor to retrieve data from memory, speeding up overall pe...
Why Caches are Important: Memory-Processor Speed Gap: Modern CPUs operate at extremely high clock speeds, often in the range of 3-4 GHz (billions of cycles per second). On the other hand, accessing main memory (RAM) is much slower, with latency typi...
Understanding the storage hierarchy in computers is essential for grasping how data is processed and accessed at different speeds and costs. Each level in the hierarchy serves a specific purpose, balancing the trade-off between access speed and stora...
