Välimuistikehykset
Välimuistikehykset, or cache frames, are fundamental components in the design of modern computer systems, particularly in memory hierarchies. They represent the smallest addressable unit of data that can be transferred between the main memory and the cache memory. When a processor needs to access data, it first checks the cache. If the data is found in the cache (a cache hit), it can be retrieved very quickly. If the data is not found (a cache miss), the system must fetch a block of data, typically of size equal to a cache frame, from main memory and load it into the cache.
The size of a cache frame is a crucial design parameter that influences cache performance. A larger
Cache coherence protocols are also related to cache frames. These protocols ensure that all copies of a
