CacheDaten

CacheDaten refers to data that is temporarily stored in a cache memory. Cache memory is a smaller, faster type of memory that is used by computer systems to speed up data access. When a program or the operating system needs to access data, it first checks the cache. If the data is found in the cache (a cache hit), it can be retrieved much faster than if it had to be fetched from the main memory (RAM) or a storage device. If the data is not found in the cache (a cache miss), it is retrieved from the slower storage and then copied into the cache for future use. This process aims to reduce latency and improve overall system performance.

CacheDaten can be found in various levels of a computer system. Processor caches (L1, L2, L3) are located very close to the CPU and store frequently used instructions and data. Disk caches are used by operating systems to store frequently accessed data from hard drives or SSDs in RAM. Web browsers also use caches to store website data like images, HTML files, and scripts, reducing the need to re-download them on subsequent visits. The management of CacheDaten is crucial for performance optimization, involving algorithms to decide which data to keep in the cache and which to evict when new data needs to be stored.
