CPU L1 & L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional
DRAM (system memory). When the CPU requests data, the system transfers
the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster
access by the CPU. The settings enable/disable the internal cache (also known
as L1 or level 1 cache) and external cache (also known as L2 or level 2 cache).
Setting options:
WriteBack, WriteThru
.
WriteBack & WriteThru
refer to the
caches write policy, which determines how it handles writes to memory loca-
tions that are currently being held in cache. The
WriteBack
cache policy will
produce the best performance.
