Computer memory comes in various types, each striking a

balance between speed and cost:

Cache Memory:

Cache memory is high speed volatile

memory that is located closest to the CPU. When the CPU

requests data from RAM, it checks the cache memory first

for faster access. Cache memory is designed to bridge the

speed gap between the CPU and main memory (RAM).

SRAM is typically used for small caches, so we need to

look at the following aspects for detailed idea:

•

Cache memory is closely associated with SRAM

(Static Random Access Memory).

•

SRAM employs flip-flops to store data bits. ...
