    The document discusses cache memory organization and mapping techniques. It provides details on the different levels of memory including registers, cache memory, main memory, and secondary memory. It then describes the three main types of cache mapping - direct mapping, associative mapping, and set-associative mapping. Direct mapping assigns each block to a specific cache line, associative mapping allows any block to map to any line, and set-associative mapping combines aspects of direct and associative mapping.

    CACHE MEMORY ORGANISATION

    Cache Memory is a special very high-speed memory. It is used to speed up and


    synchronizing with high-speed CPU. Cache memory is costlier than main memory or
    disk memory but economical than CPU registers. Cache memory is an extremely fast
    memory type that acts as a buffer between RAM and the CPU. It holds frequently
    requested data and instructions so that they are immediately available to the CPU when
    needed.Cache memory is used to reduce the average time to access data from the Main
    memory. The cache is a smaller and faster memory which stores copies of the data from
    frequently used main memory locations. There are various different independent caches
    in a CPU, which store instructions and data.

    Levels of memory:
     Level 1 or Register
    It is a type of memory in which data is stored and accepted that are immediately
    stored in CPU. Most commonly used register is accumulator, Program counter,
    address register etc.
     Level 2 or Cache memory
    It is the fastest memory which has faster access time where data is temporarily
    stored for faster access.
     Level 3 or Main Memory
    It is memory on which computer works currently. It is small in size and once power
    is off data no longer stays in this memory.
     Level 4 or Secondary Memory
    It is external memory which is not as fast as main memory but data stays
    permanently in this memory.
    Cache Mapping
    There are three different types of mapping used for the purpose of cache memory
    which are as follows: Direct mapping, Associative mapping, and Set-Associative
    mapping.
    Direct Mapping
    In Direct mapping, assigne each memory block to a specific line in the cache. If a
    line is previously taken up by a memory block when a new block needs to be loaded, the
    old block is trashed. An address space is split into two parts index field and a tag field.
    Associative Mapping

    In this type of mapping, the associative memory is used to store content and
    addresses of the memory word. Any block can go into any line of the cache. This means
    that the word id bits are used to identify which word in the block is needed, but the tag
    becomes all of the remaining bits. This enables the placement of any word at any place in
    the cache memory. It is considered to be the fastest and the most flexible mapping form.

    Set-associative Mapping

    This form of mapping is an enhanced form of direct mapping where the drawbacks
    of direct mapping are removed. Set associative addresses the problem of possible
    thrashing in the direct mapping method. Set associative cache mapping combines the best
    of direct and associative cache mapping techniques.In this case, the cache consists of a
    number of sets, each of which consists of a number of lines.
    Applicatio
    n of Cache Memory

     Usually, the cache memory can store a reasonable number of blocks at any given
    time, but this number is small compared to the total number of blocks in the main
    memory.
     The correspondence between the main memory blocks and those in the cache is
    specified by a mapping function.
