The role of cache memories and the factors that decide the success of a particular design are examined. The operation of a cache memory is described. The specification of cache parameters is considered. Also discussed are the size of a cache, cache hierarchies, fetching and replacing, cache organization, updating the main memory, the use of two caches rather than one, virtual-address caches, and cache consistency.
