Description

Cache is a small, high-speed buffer memory between the CPU and the primary unit is a hardware component that stores data so that future requests for the data can be served faster. Cache memory must be small so that data can be used efficiently and it is cost-effective. This paper is going to analyze the hardware-based cache memory and its importance on processor performance, cache design and various cache levels. We also take a case study on how 3D V-Cache works and how it significantly enhances the performance of the processor.
