Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To reduce the memory access time we generally make use of ____
A
SDRAM’s
B
Heaps
C
Cache’s
D
Higher capacity RAM’s
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -True, The cache is designed to speed up the back and forth of information between the main memory and the CPU. The time needed to access data from memory is called latency. L1 cache memory has the lowest latency, being the fastest and closest to the core, and L3 has the highest.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cache memory is a type of high-speed random access memory (RAM) which is built into the processor . Data can be transferred to and from cache memory more quickly than from RAM. As a result, cache memory is used to temporarily hold data and instructions that the processor is likely to reuse.

Detailed explanation-3: -A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) is a memory cache that stores the recent translations of virtual memory to physical memory. It is used to reduce the time taken to access a user memory location.
