Types of Caches:

  • Write-back Cache
    • Modifies the content in main memory some time after it has been modified in the cache by the processor
    • Changes will not be immediately affected.
    • Outdated data access possible.
  • Write-through Cache
    • Modifies the content in main memory immediately after it has been changed in the cache memory.
    • Changes will be immediate.
    • Data access is possible only after it has been changed. So no outdated data.
