本文探讨了缓存内存（简称缓存）在处理处理器与内存速度差距中的关键作用。介绍了物理定律下，更大的存储设备为何比小的更慢，以及高速设备的成本问题。详细讲解了缓存的层级，包括一级缓存（接近寄存器文件的速度）和二级缓存（比主内存快5到10倍），有时还包括三级缓存。
1.5 Caches Matter
1）Physical laws
Larger storage devices are slower than smaller storage devices.
Faster devices are more expensive to build than their slower counterparts.
2)To deal with the processor-memory gap
cache memories(or simply caches) that serves as temporary storage areas for information that the processor is likely to need in the near future.
3)Cache Level,SRAM(Static Random Access Memory)
Level 1 and level 2, maybe level 3 sometimes.
Level 1 (tens of thousands of bytes, nearly as fast as register file)
Level 2 (hundreds of thousands to millions of bytes, might take 5 times longer than L1 does but still 5 to 10 times faster than main memory)
