What is cache memory?

Answer / v.vijayakumar
Cache memory is a small high-speed memory. It is used for
temporary storage of data & information between the main
memory and the CPU (center processing unit). The cache
memory is only in RAM.
Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer
microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access
regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks
first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there
(from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do
the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory.

cache memory is random access memory that a computer
microprocessor can access more quickly than it can regular
ROM therefore cache memory is best than RAM.

What are differences between ram and rom?
Measurements of a certain system have shown that the average process runs for a time T before blocking on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is effectively wasted (overhead). The CPU’s efficiency is the fraction of its time its spends executing user programs, i.e., executing user processes. For round robin scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU efficiency for each of the following: (a) Q = ∞ (b) Q > S + T (c) S <Q<S + T (d) Q = S
