Imagine memory like a builder with tools. Hard drive is the shop that sells tools. Lots of tools to choose from but a lot slower as he'd have to drive to get them. RAM is like his van. Smaller in size, but a lot faster for him to access and do his work. L3 cache is like his tool belt. Right on him, very small range, but incredibly quick to access, barely slows him down at all. L1 & L2 cache are like the tools in his hand. Even more limited, generally only one tool at a time, but incredibly quick to use as he doesn't need to even grab them, they are stored right there ready for immediate use.

I learned about caching in my CS classes and this was a great simplistic overview of what the cache is/does!

Our ICT teacher showed us this today and i got a bit too excited it was a techquickie video

Registers are also a type of memory and they are even faster! But very small at the same time. (512 byte per core on Intel) As the processor can only process data that are stored in registers (needs to be loaded from RAM to cache and from cache to register), organizing cache hierarchy is one of the most important things apart from the actual processing.

I didn't think this would be that accurate. But you covered all the basic points. You guys are really doing your research. I appreciate that.

My lecturer showed this during our lecture and that was the only time I learned something during her lecturer. Thanks Techquickie!

Informative, well paced and with interested editing. This is an example of a perfect tech explanation video! Thanks

To put it in perspective, more CPU cache means CPU can bite more information from RAM, means more data will be done in same amount of time. Manufactures usually scale CPU caches with a CPU power. For example, cracking ZIP password with brute force attack is usually based on true CPU power, his cores and caches, so... T9400 are Intel mobile CPU for laptops, it got 2.66GHz speed, got 2 cores, L2 cache of 6MB as 24-ways, using 35W. Phenom II X6 1100T are AMD desktop CPU, it got 3.3-3.7GHz, got 6 cores, L3 cache of 6MB as 48 way set, using 125W. So, AMD got like 2 times more GHz, 2 times more transistors, 3 times more cores, additional cache level thats supposed to organize data better and make it faster, and its freaking desktop CPU, but, they both cost same amount of money, both got 6MB of cache, both are 45nm, etc., and tests shows they both have same power, around 27 000 000 passwords per second. So keep in mind that CPU cache is one additionally factor in processing, bigger cache are like bigger mouth, the more you can bite, the more you can process and eat in same amount of time.

@@zjp735 Oh, its been 5 years, but thank you. 👍 Also noticed i didnt say that "bite" are referring to cache size bite from the RAM, and "eat" to CPU cores/threads/speed. Means the biggest "cache bite" of a eg. 96MB would be totally useless (energy useless, price useless, speed useless, parts useless) if CPU would processing it with single tooth (like 1 core, single thread, 1Mz), because it would take long before its swallowed. Thats why i think no one should pay attention to cache, specially if its smart shared cache, and it can be used as some kind of a CPU horsepower representation, like how big mouth he got, how much he can bite and process, if he got a big mouth, theres reason why he can eat more, and its set up by engineers who created it. For example 3MB in modern technology can do everything for home/office and even gaming, 6MB can probably do more calculations, bigger bite, less time accessing RAM (RAM is like 20GB/sec speed, while cache are like 20TB/sec, so reading RAM could be considered as "slow down"), if its old, with no new technology, its probably bad for next gen stuff, and if it has 96MB+, thats some kind of a Xeon range that are only needed by servers and ECC RAM or something like that. Also pay attention to "shared", AMD can put big 24MB cache, while at the same price range Intel can have small 6MB, good for ADS, differences are that shared or smart cache actually using single big chip for cache (cheaper) thats divided according to CPU cores (eg. 24MB, 4 cores, means 6MB per core), something like having 4 partitions on single USB drive, it can be bottleneck, its a single drive. While standard cache, eg. 6MB (not smart, not shared) are more expensive then big shared/smart, so if eg. Intel says 4 cores, 6MB cache, it means each core got his own 6MB cache (more expensive, more smaller, less heat per individual cache), means 4x6MB, also 24MB in total for 4 cores, but 4 times the speed (4 drives got more throughput then 1 drive alone), more expensive, and of course "24MB shared" sound better and cheaper then "6MB", or "48MB shared" vs "12MB", thats kind of a ADS to pull buyers who believe in free stuff, "good but cheap", even they know theres no such thing as "bad but expensive" to ask for. But i would not buy CPU watching only cache on its own, as i said, CPU with 6MB are good, but the one with 12MB probably have reasons (like overall performance speed) why its built with that amount of cache, its probably his performance "limit", where having more cache would be useless, and having less would be bottleneck for a given cores.

U WOT M8” is a shorthand for “You what, mate?

Nice explanation. You've mixed add a couple concepts there I would like to clear out. First of all, the problem with RAM is not bandwidth but latency. A RAM module can transfer data pretty quickly, but it does spend a fair amount of time since the processor asks for a block of memory until it begins to transfer. That's why cache is essential, it's basically a very low latency memory. Second, most desktop modern processors (and even ARM smartphone processors) have prefetch mechanisms. This is the part you describe as the processor guessing "what will the software need next" (which is an accurate description actually), but you do imply that the algorithms used by prefetch are the culprits of all the cache misses, which is not true. Not everything loaded into the cache is loaded by the prefetch hardware. It's more accurate to think of the cache as more of a "Recently used memory" kind of deal, with prefetch being a nice addition to it (turning into a "Recently used memory + memory we are probably going to use"). Third, by no means the cache (or prefetch) uses "complex algorithms". The whole point of a cache is to be fast, and if it spent too much time thinking what block to get next it would slow down the processor and by the point it had decided what block to load, the processor would already need it. This is why algorithms used in prefetch are very simple (and they work well). Some older processors just prefetched the next block when data was accessed. There are some other more complicated optimizations, of course, but the whole point of them is speed, and simplicity is the key of speed. Sorry for the long comment guys, and nice work Luke!

@otdave96

8 жыл бұрын

Short answer: Because the point of it is that RAM is slower than cache memory. Long answer: RAM is slower than cache because- 1 - It's built differently. Cache memory is built purely with transistors which is fast, but expensive. RAM is built with very very small condensers, that take time to "write" and "read", but are cheaper to make, so the technology itself is slower. 2 - You need to re-write it every time you read it, and several times a second. In order to read the bits, you need to discharge the condensers in the memory, which effectively destroys the data each time you read it, so you have to re-write it. If it wasn't enough, they will discharge alone. About 20 times a second. 3 - It's big. RAM's logic is much more complex, as it needs to activate certain memory rows in certain chips only, and connect them to the output, which takes time. The time this process takes is called "Latency", and sometimes it's greater than the time it takes for the data itself to travel to the processor. 4 - It's far away. Yes, in modern processors even the time it takes for the electrons to travel within the chip is significant. The time it would take for the data to travel from the RAM itself to the processor if it had no latency would be greater still than reading cache memory. So the point of cache is to consult RAM as little as possible, because it being slower would mean the processor having to go slower.

Hit rate isn't everything. A really big cache suffers the same problem as system memory. That is, the hit TIME is very slow, so even with a high hit rate, overall it is slow to access. But anyway, large caches aren't needed, as even small caches with a few MBs these days can achieve hit rates of 90%+ due to temporal/spacial locality, prefetching, associativity, and a number of other tricks.

L3 is not the fastest. The ideal would be a huge L1 Cache, as it's the fastest Cache (Memory in registers is even faster and can match CPU speed). But as mentioned, L1 is huge (size wise), it costs a lot (money), and it consumes a lot of energy (Hence it generates a lot of heat). in order to relieve some of that, L2 was implemented. Then L3 and L4. So DRAM feeds L3, L3 to L2, and L2 to L1. The lower the level the faster, but with downsides. The higher the level, the higher memory amount. Intel implemented L4 in some GPU's.

I can't believe you talked about cache without covering set associativity, which is very important in cache design. A 4MB all-way set associative cache will be MUCH MUCH better than an 8MB 2-way associative cache.

liked just for the cache pun at the end

Luke looked so proud of his pun

Actually: In order to make any sort of calculation your CPU has to hold a certain set of numbers inside of it called a "register". Since the signals all mutually depend on each other the processor has a build in memory of it's own. Your CPU wouldn't even work without it since it needs to be able to hold the instructions to process the information it's receiving. It's nearly impossible to use a CPU bus for calculations without using these built in memory caches.

If the CPU has more cache memory inside of it, it could play video games much better, a triple core processor with 20gb of Cache you could save the patch of the game, so the patch of the game can be saved in the cache and it could run 4K without losing frame rates, which is very good idea.

the SRAM is around 32KB of never changing instruction while the the other part of L1 is 32KB per core for very fast cache of data just used stored to be again for the next operation done as L1 is so small it can go almost as fast if not as fast as the cpu physical core L2 is bigger so it takes longer to search and is used for when the data in L1 is finsihed for the first round of loops around L3 is used as a storage place for what the memory controller thinks the cpu core will need next so fetches it from system RAM and stores it inside L3 to be used

core2 q9550 has 12mb cache. Still a beast 4ghz (clocked) processor even my today's standards.

does it affect the rendering process? like 3D rendering?

Im just realizing this, did they use a ryzen or bristol chip at 0:56 ?

Guy with your feet up! sick shoes Bro!

Damnit, was just about to post here that cpu cash(cache) is the money u spend on a cpu, but u already covered that.

thank you!

Can we increase level-2 cache (as it is external to the CPU) just like we extend RAM?

using the great ide type hard drives for cache ... getting blazing fast speeds and more fps
