Study Notes
Registers
- Located inside the CPU (Central Processing Unit)
- The main characteristic of registers is that they are the fastest and smallest amount of memory available to a computer processor.
Memory Hierarchy
- Cache memory is designed to minimize the time it takes to access data, acting as a buffer between the main memory and the CPU.
- The purpose of cache memory is to speed up the access to frequently used data and instructions.
- The purpose of the memory hierarchy is to optimize the flow of data and instructions between different levels of memory, reducing the time it takes for the CPU to access the data it needs.
