How Disk Cache Works Group Task

Disk cache works by reserving a section of memory where it keeps copies of information previously read from disks. The next time the computer needs that same information, it can access the data directly from the cache, which is faster than accessing the data from the disk. This temporary storage of disk data in memory helps speed up access to frequently used files and programs.

HOW DISK CACHE WORKS

Nabil Makarim Nahar (2003015067)


BEFORE WE EXPLAIN ABOUT
THAT
LET US EXPLAIN SOMETHING
WHAT IS CACHE & HOW IT WORKS ?

In computing, a cache is a high-speed


data storage layer which stores a
subset of data, typically transient in
nature, so that future requests for that
data are served up faster than is
possible by accessing the data's
primary storage location.
WHAT IS CACHE USED FOR ?

It is used to temporarily hold


instructions and data that the
CPU is likely to reuse.
WHAT PROBLEMS DO CACHE SOLVE ?

Caches solve the transfer problem by


providing a buffer of intermediate speed
between the components. If the fast device
finds the data it needs in the cache, it need
not wait for the slower device. The data in
the cache must be kept consistent with the
data in the components.
WHAT 2 TYPES OF CACHE?

There are 2 types of cache are


commonly used in personal
computers: memory cache
and disk cache.
WHAT IS MEMORY CACHE ?

Cache memory is essentially a


faster and smaller version of
RAM which contributes to the
overall performance of your
CPU.
HOW DOES IT WORK ? (MEMORY CACHE)

Cache memory temporarily stores


information, data and programs that
are commonly used by the CPU. When
data is required, the CPU will
automatically turn to cache memory
in search of faster data access.
WHAT IS DISK CACHE & HOW IT WORKS ?

A disk cache is a software utility that works


by reserving a section of memory where it
keeps a copy of information that previously
read from your disks. The next time your
computer needs that same information,
the data can be accessed directly from the
cache, bypassing the slower disk.
THANK YOU
