  2. Cache hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_hierarchy

    Cache hierarchy, or multi-level cache, is a memory architecture that uses a hierarchy of memory stores based on varying access speeds to cache data. Highly requested data is cached in high-speed access memory stores, allowing swifter access by central processing unit (CPU) cores.
