Cache memory
This is a basic concept in computer science
Cache is very fast and small memory that is placed in between the CPU and the main memory. Cache memory is used to reduce the average memory access times. This is done by storing the data that is frequently accessed in main memory addresses therefore allowing the CPU to access the data faster. This is due to the fact that cache memory can be read a lot faster than main memory. There are different types of cache (e.g. L1,L2 and L3)[1]
