  2. Cache hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_hierarchy

    Each upper-level cache component is a subset of the lower-level cache component. In this case, since there is a duplication of blocks, there is some wastage of memory. However, checking is faster. [citation needed] Under an exclusive policy, all the cache hierarchy components are completely exclusive, so that any element in the upper-level ...

  3. Cache coherency protocols (examples) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_coherency_protocols...

    Cache in E (R) or M (D) state (exclusiveness) – The write can take place locally without any other action. The state is set (or remains) M (D) Write Miss – Write Allocate – Read with Intent to Modified operation – Like a Read miss operation plus an invalidate command, then the cache is written (updated)

  4. Cache replacement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies

    LFUDA increments cache age when evicting blocks by setting it to the evicted object's key value, and the cache age is always less than or equal to the minimum key value in the cache. [17] If an object was frequently accessed in the past and becomes unpopular, it will remain in the cache for a long time (preventing newly- or less-popular objects ...

  5. Cache coherence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_coherence

    Cache coherence is the discipline which ensures that the changes in the values of shared operands (data) are propagated throughout the system in a timely fashion. [2] The following are the requirements for cache coherence: [3] Write Propagation Changes to the data in any cache must be propagated to other copies (of that cache line) in the peer ...

  6. Cache-oblivious algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache-oblivious_algorithm

    Unlike the RAM machine model, it also introduces a cache: the second level of storage between the RAM and the CPU. The other differences between the two models are listed below. In the cache-oblivious model: The cache on the left holds blocks of size each, for a total of M objects. The external memory on the right is unbounded.

  7. CPU cache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_cache

    A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. [1] A cache is a smaller, faster memory, located closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations.

  8. Adaptive replacement cache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_replacement_cache

    Basic LRU maintains an ordered list (the cache directory) of resource entries in the cache, with the sort order based on the time of most recent access. New entries are added at the top of the list, after the bottom entry has been evicted. Cache hits move to the top, pushing all other entries down.
