Program Plan Intro

Cache memory:

• Cache memory is a small memory but it is faster than the main memory.
• Cache memory uses different architecture based on a bit across different machines.
• There are two types of cache memories are used. They are as follows.
  1. ○ Primary cache memory or Level 1(L1) cache:
     • They are invariably located on the same chip as a processor and usually in pairs.
  2. ○ Secondary cache memory:
     • It is larger and slower but faster than main memory.
     • In modern desktop or laptop system they are also on the same chip as the processor.
