    The document contains lecture notes on computer organization and architecture from Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University. The notes cover cache memory, including that it is SRAM closer to the CPU that is much faster than main memory, bridging the speed gap. The notes define cache mapping as how blocks of main memory are mapped to the cache when needed.

    Cache Memory-

    • Cache memory is a Static Random-Access Memory.


    • The main advantage of cache memory is its very fast speed.
    • It can be accessed by the CPU at much faster speed than main
    memory.
    • Cache memory bridges the speed mismatch between the
    processor and the main memory.
    • Cache memory lies on the path between the CPU and the
    main memory.
    • It facilitates the transfer of data between the processor and
    the main memory at the speed which matches to the speed
    of the processor.

    • Data is transferred in the form of words between the cache memory


    and the CPU.
    • Data is transferred in the form of blocks or pages between the
    cache memory and the main memory.
    Purpose-
    The fast speed of the cache memory makes it extremely useful.
    • It is used for bridging the speed mismatch between the
    fastest CPU and the main memory.
    • It does not let the CPU performance suffer due to the slower
    speed of the main memory.

    Cache Mapping-

    • Cache mapping defines how a block from the main memory


    is mapped to the cache memory in case of a cache miss.
    OR

    • Cache mapping is a technique by which the contents of


    main memory are brought into the cache memory.

    The following diagram illustrates the mapping process-

    • Main memory is divided into equal size partitions called as blocks or


    frames.
    • Cache memory is divided into partitions having same size as that of
    blocks called as lines.
    • During cache mapping, block of main memory is simply copied to the
    cache and the block is not actually brought from the main memory.
