Cache (computing)

computing component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster

dynamically managed local memory that mirrors main memory in a microprocessor to reduce the cost of access

mechanism for the temporary storage (caching) of web documents

principle describing a tendency to repetitively accessing similar memory location sets momentaneously

algorithm for caching data

communications protocol

i/O-efficient algorithm regardless of cache size

Ccache is a software development tool that caches compilations so that the next time, the same compilation can be avoided and the results can be taken from the cache. This can greatly speed up recompilation time. The detection is done by hashing different kinds of information that should be unique for the compilation and then using the hash sum to identify the cached output.

attack in which invalid entiries are placed into a cache

memory hierarchy concept applied to CPU caches with multiple levels

module containing SRAM used as an L2 cache in mid-1990s computers

cache coherence protocol

algorithm to process data that is too large to fit into a computer's main memory at one time, optimized to efficiently fetch and access data stored in slow bulk memory (e.g. hard drives, tape drives, remote network)
