gyorsítótári
Gyorsítótár, often translated as "accelerator memory" or "cache memory," refers to a small, high-speed memory component that stores frequently accessed data. Its primary purpose is to reduce the average time it takes to access data from slower main memory. When a processor needs data, it first checks the gyorsítótár. If the data is present (a cache hit), it can be retrieved much faster than from main memory. If the data is not found (a cache miss), the processor retrieves it from main memory and also stores a copy in the gyorsítótár for future use.
The effectiveness of a gyorsítótár depends on the principle of locality, which states that programs tend to
Gyorsítótárak are organized in levels, typically L1, L2, and L3, with L1 being the smallest and fastest,
