    Memory N Storage

    Cache memory is the fastest memory located between the CPU and main memory, storing recent instructions and input for the CPU. Data in cache memory is continuously replaced using algorithms like FIFO which replaces the oldest item, or LRU which replaces the least recently used item. Virtual memory separates logical memory from physical memory, providing programmers the illusion of a very large memory and making programming easier, even if the computer has a small amount of physical main memory available.

    MEMORY AND

    STORAGE

    UNIT - 9
    CACHE MEMORY
    • It is the memory which is very nearest to the
    CPU and all recent instructions are stored into
    cache memory.
    • Cache Memory is attached for storing the i/p
    which is given by the user & which is
    necessary for the CPU.
    • It is faster than Main Memory.
    • It is generally between Processor and Main
    Memory.
    REPLACEMENT ALGORITHM
    Data is continuously replaced with new data in
    the cache memory using replacement
    algorithms. Following are the 2 replacement
    algorithms used:
    • FIFO - First in First out. Oldest item is replaced
    with the latest item.
    • LRU - Least Recently Used. Item which is least
    recently used by CPU is removed.
    VIRTUAL MEMORY
    • Virtual memory is the separation of logical
    memory from physical memory. This separation
    provides large virtual memory for programmers
    when only small physical memory is available.
    • Virtual memory is used to give programmers the
    illusion that they have a very large memory even
    though the computer has a small main memory. It
    makes the task of programming easier because
    the programmer no longer needs to worry about
    the amount of physical memory available.
