  • What is a cache? How does it work, and why is it important?
    Caches are used everywhere in our modern devices. It's found in many hardware components and throughout software. The goal of caching is to store data from slow memory into fast memory so it can be retrieved quicker.
    That's why browsers keep a cache: so they don't have to re-download everything from the internet over and over again.

    I did 4 years of computer systems engineering in 1993 and this is far clearer than any explanation I got at the time. lol. Im constantly amazed by how much better youtube videos are than older forms of learning.

      Its a shame a lot of people discredit online learning as if it was < brick and mortar schooling.

    With the book/library example I think a better analogy would be: You take a PHOTOCOPY of some of the book's pages home with you - that way you have a local copy of the information you need (cached data). The data is up-to-date at the moment you took it from the library, but here lies the typical problem with cached data: If the original author of that book decides to update the original copy at the library, then your copy of the data (your photocopy) is no longer up-to-date and you need to go and get a new photocopy from the updated book at the library (clear your cache)

      Great addition to this example but that would also mean less simple, depending on the audience 😉

    Now what's the difference between a cache and a buffer? The buffer is the suitcase that you use to take the books from the library to your house. For example, if you want to print a document, you will put it into your printer's buffer and the printer will take it from there.

    • @richiewilliams8374

      hello, pls clear me on this; apart from Lvl1 cache (internal) in the cpu, is the cache also in RAM &how ? as we know that cache is a ram , specifically sram

    • @ThorstenStaerk
      @ThorstenStaerk 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@richiewilliams8374 RAM caches what you get from network, disk and so on. CPU cache caches what the CPU gets from RAM. There are 3 levels of CPU cache.

  • @manishamulchandani1500
    @manishamulchandani1500 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have doubt regarding caching
    Consider I have "cache aside pattern" and "in memory cache" in application server is used. I'm looking for Invalidation logic when there is an update. This was the context.
    I read for critical data like password/financial information we use Write Back policy to ensure consistency. In write through one instance's in memory cache entry gets updated and others can remain stale. So, there is inconsistency in write through
    My question is same can happen in Write Back, one instance's in memory cache entry gets deleted(invalidated) and we update DB..other instances in memory cache still have that entry. So there is inconsistency in write Back as well? Why do we prefer write back for critical data because same issue is there in write back.
    If answer is invalidate all instances' in memory cache entry then same can be done for Write through. Which makes me ask question 2.
    My another question is : We can update all instances' in memory cache entry and then update DB. In this way consistency is maintained so why not we use Write through for critical data like password financial information?
