What is the role of Cache in the presence of RAM Memory?

Cache memory is a chip-based computer component that makes retrieving data from the
computer's memory more efficient. It acts as a temporary storage area that the computer's
processor can retrieve data from easily. Cache memory is important because it improves the
efficiency of data retrieval. It stores program instructions and data that are used repeatedly in the
operation of programs or information that the CPU is likely to need next. Improving performance
is another role of this and it is a valuable resource for evaluating a computer's overall
performance

Is cache a type of Primary Storage Unit or Secondary Storage Unit?

Cache memory provides faster data storage and access by storing instances of programs and data
routinely accessed by the processor. Cache memory is a temporary form of storage that computer
programs call on for quicker access during operation. It stores data for some time as computer
turn off it removes the data but in secondary storage data remains stable after computer turn off.

What is role of Operating System (OS) in Computer System?

An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It manages the
computer's memory and processes, as well as all of its software and hardware. It also allows you
to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer's
language. Without an operating system, a computer is useless.

Computer’s operating system manages all of the software and hardware on the computer. Most

of the time, there are several different computer programs running at the same time, and they all
need to access your computer's central processing unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The
operating system coordinates all of this to make sure each program gets what it needs.
