Cache Memory

cache memory diagram

 

Hello Readers,

Today I will discuss Cache Memory and its importance.

Importance

• It Is Small faster Memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used by main memory location

• Actually it is placed between Microprocessor & RAM.

• It stored the address of memory location by which the microprocessor doesn’t need to cache its address again and again. Once Cache Memory Cached That Address then RAM and Microprocessor Directly Operate it rapidly.

Uses

• Due to cache memory, average latency memory is increases

• and also It gives faster access to currently needed data

• It also reduces the average time of accessing memory for RAM and Microprocessor

• It is a special type of memory which is used to fast access to microprocessor

Types:

1. Level 1 (L1) cache or Primary Cache – L1 is the primary type cache memory. The Size of the L1 cache very small compared to others that are between 2 KB to 64 KB.

2. Level 2 (L2) cache or Secondary Cache – L2 is a secondary type cache memory. The Size of the L2 cache is more than L1 that is between 256 KB to 512 KB. It resides on the computer microprocessor.

 
3. Level 3 (L3) cache or Main Memory – The L3 cache is larger in size but also slower in speed than L1 and L2, it’s size ranges between 1 MB to 8 MB.

 

If you have any questions regarding this article. Then please do let me know. I would be happy to help you. 

Thanks For reading

Automation - Update Naukri Profile Using Selenium

Recently one of my friend came to me with a problem. He is looking out for new job but he feels quite boring to update  his profile on daily basis. As some people says updating profile in the morning gives you more calls as it keeps the newly updated profile on top (Although i don’t know whether naukri works this way or not 😀 ). As i was more interested to solve his problem.  After listening his problem i came to solution that instead of updating it manually lets make this job automatic. And it is quite interesting how we can automate our daily boring task with automation. Another day i came with the solution . And the solution was to make it automatic using selenium (Those who are not aware about selenium do check this link) In short, Selenium is a Testing automation Framework. And it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well....

3 facts about Microsoft Windows

1. Nobody can create a folder named “Con”. Try to create anywhere on your hard disk a folder called “Con” (without the quotes). Go to a location on your hard disk, right click, choose “New” and then select “Folder” from the menu that appears. Name the folder “Con” (without quotes) and hit Enter. You’ll see that the folder won’t be named “Con“. It will be “New folder” 2. A text file made with Notepad, with the following content : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) won’t display the actual text. Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad . Write in Notepad the following text : “Bush hid the facts” (without quotes) then Save the file and exit Notepad. Now go to the text file you created and open it. You’ll see that the text you just wrote and save won’t show. 3. Write in Word this : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and witness the magic. Open Microsoft Word and on the first line write : “=rand(200,99)” (without the quotes) and hit Enter
