Cache Memory-

• Cache memory is a Static Random-Access Memory.


• The main advantage of cache memory is its very fast speed.
• It can be accessed by the CPU at much faster speed than main
memory.
• Cache memory bridges the speed mismatch between the
processor and the main memory.
• Cache memory lies on the path between the CPU and the
main memory.
• It facilitates the transfer of data between the processor and
the main memory at the speed which matches to the speed
of the processor.

• Data is transferred in the form of words between the cache memory


and the CPU.
• Data is transferred in the form of blocks or pages between the
cache memory and the main memory.
Purpose-
The fast speed of the cache memory makes it extremely useful.
• It is used for bridging the speed mismatch between the
fastest CPU and the main memory.
• It does not let the CPU performance suffer due to the slower
speed of the main memory.

Cache Mapping-

• Cache mapping defines how a block from the main memory


is mapped to the cache memory in case of a cache miss.
OR

• Cache mapping is a technique by which the contents of


main memory are brought into the cache memory.

The following diagram illustrates the mapping process-

• Main memory is divided into equal size partitions called as blocks or


frames.
• Cache memory is divided into partitions having same size as that of
blocks called as lines.
• During cache mapping, block of main memory is simply copied to the
cache and the block is not actually brought from the main memory.
