cachesize
Cachesize is the capacity of a cache, a small, fast storage layer that holds recently accessed data to speed up future requests. In computer systems, caches sit between the processor and main memory to reduce average access time by exploiting temporal and spatial locality. The cachesize is the maximum amount of data that can be stored in the cache at once, and is usually expressed in bytes or in kilobytes, megabytes, etc.
Caches are organized by lines (blocks) of fixed size, and by sets with a given associativity (for
Modern CPUs typically feature multiple levels of cache. Per-core L1 caches are commonly in the range of
In software, cachesize often denotes the maximum memory allotted for a cache used by an application or
