Cache memory refers to cheap memory that can be plugged into the mother board to expand main memory fast memory present on the processor chip that is used to store recently accessed data a reserved portion of main memory used to save important data a special area of memory on the chip that is used to save frequently used constants Caches work by doing what? Moving the current data into faster memories Combining slower Flash and faster DRAM Combining slower hard disk and faster DRAM Making SRAM as cheap as DRAM Which of the following gives a list of memory in decreasing order (fast to slow) of speed access? RAM, Hard Disk, L1 Cache, L2 Cache L1 Cache, RAM, Hard Disk, L2 Cache Hard Disk, RAM, L2 Cache, L1 Cache L1 Cache, L2 Cache, RAM, Hard Disk Which of the following statements is true? L2 cache is faster than L1 cache There are several levels of cache in a computer A cache miss penalty is less than a cache hit A cache hit indicates that the information we are looking for is not in the cache What are the sources of cache misses? Select all that applies Compulsory Contingency Conflict Capacity Temporal Locality Spatial Locality The method for updating the main memory as soon as a word is removed from the cache is called_____Write-through Write back Protected write Cache-write

Solution

Answer 1 - D

Cache memory is a small-sized type of volatile computer memory that provides high-speed data access to a processor and stores frequently used computer constant, applications and data.
