What is cache memory?

Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory.

A Cache is a fast memory (generally SRAMS) that is genearally installed between the main memory and disk to reduce the transfer rate and access time disparities.
