processor cache
1Cache coloring — In computer science, cache coloring (also known as page coloring) is the process of attempt to allocate free pages that are contiguous from the CPU cache s point of view, in order to maximize the total number of pages cached by the processor.… …
2cache memory — Pronounced [cash memory]. A relatively small section of very fast memory (often static RAM) reserved for the temporary storage of the data or instructions likely to be needed next by the processor. Cache memory integrated directly onto the… …
3Processor affinity — is a modification of the native central queue scheduling algorithm.Each task (be it process or thread) in the queue has a tag indicating its preferred / kin processor.At allocation time, each task is allocated to its kin processor in preference… …
4Cache pollution — describes situations where an executing computer program loads data into CPU cache unnecessarily, thus causing other needed data to be evicted from the cache into lower levels of the memory hierarchy, potentially all the way down to main memory,… …
5Cache coherency — In computing, cache coherency (also cache coherence) refers to the integrity of data stored in local caches of a shared resource. Cache coherence is a special case of memory coherence.When clients in a system maintain caches of a common memory… …
6cache memory — ▪ computing also called Cache, a supplementary memory system that temporarily stores frequently used instructions and data for quicker processing by the central processor of a computer. The cache augments, and is an extension of, a… …
7Processor register — In computer architecture, a processor register is a small amount of storage available as part of a CPU or other digital processor. Such registers are (typically) addressed by mechanisms other than main memory and can be accessed more quickly.… …
8cache — Pronounced [cash]. A special area of memory, managed by a cache controller, that improves performance by storing the contents of frequently accessed memory locations and their addresses. A memory cache and a disk cache are not the same. A… …
9cache controller — Pronounced [cash controller]. A special purpose processor whose sole task is to manage cache memory. On newer processors, such as the Intel Pentium II, cache management is integrated directly into the processor. See also cache …
10Cache coherence — In computing, cache coherence (also cache coherency) refers to the consistency of data stored in local caches of a shared resource. Multiple Caches of Shared Resource When clients in a system maintain caches of a common memory resource, problems… …
