On-Chip Cache Memory (1)

That small amount of memory located on the same chip as the microprocessor is called
On-Chip Cache Memory.
The microprocessor stores a copy of frequently used data and instructions in its cache
memory. When the microprocessor desires to look at a piece of data, it checks in the
cache first.  If it is not there, only then the microprocessor asks for the same from the
main memory.
