    The document summarizes research on cache memory and performance issues. It discusses that the purpose of cache memory is to quickly store and access instructions and data that the CPU frequently uses, rather than accessing the slower main memory. The summary then outlines six basic cache optimizations: using a larger block size, larger cache size, and higher associativity can reduce miss rates, while multilevel caches, prioritizing reads over writes, and avoiding address translation during indexing can reduce miss penalties and hit times.

    Purpose of cache memory:


    The purpose of cache memory is to store program instructions and data that are
    used repeatedly in the operation of programs or information that the CPU is likely
    to need next. The computer processor can access this information quickly from the
    cache rather than having to get it from computer's main memory.

    Summary:
    There is 6 Basic Cache Optimizations….

    Reducing the Miss Rate

    1.Larger Block size (Compulsory misses)

    2.Larger Cache size (Capacity misses)

    3.Higher Associativity (Conflict misses)

    Reducing the Miss Penalty

    4. Multilevel Caches

    5. Giving Reads Priority over Writes

    • E.g. Read complete before earlier writes in write buffer

    Reducing the time to hit in the cache

    6. Avoiding Address Translation during Cache Indexing

    • E.g., Overlap TLB and cache access, Virtual Addressed Caches
