Cache hierarchyCache hierarchy, or multi-level caches, refers to a memory architecture that uses a hierarchy of memory stores based on varying access speeds to cache data. Highly requested data is cached in high-speed access memory stores, allowing swifter access by central processing unit (CPU) cores. Cache hierarchy is a form and part of memory hierarchy and can be considered a form of tiered storage. This design was intended to allow CPU cores to process faster despite the memory latency of main memory access.
Algorithmes de remplacement des lignes de cacheArticle principal : mémoire cache Les mémoires caches dans les matériels informatiques sont le plus souvent partiellement associatives : une ligne de la mémoire principale ne peut être rangée que dans une partie bien définie de la mémoire cache. Dans le cas d'une mémoire cache logicielle, il est possible qu'elle soit totalement associative et gérée globalement. Dans les deux cas, se pose le problème de devoir dégager une place dans la mémoire cache, ou dans la partie de celle-ci concernée, lorsque celle-ci est pleine et qu'on veut y charger des données de la mémoire principale.
File d'attente à double extrémitéIn computer science, a double-ended queue (abbreviated to deque, pronounced deck, like "cheque") is an abstract data type that generalizes a queue, for which elements can be added to or removed from either the front (head) or back (tail). It is also often called a head-tail linked list, though properly this refers to a specific data structure implementation of a deque (see below). Deque is sometimes written dequeue, but this use is generally deprecated in technical literature or technical writing because dequeue is also a verb meaning "to remove from a queue".
Negative energyNegative energy is a concept used in physics to explain the nature of certain fields, including the gravitational field and various quantum field effects. Gravitational energy Gravitational energy, or gravitational potential energy, is the potential energy a massive object has because it is within a gravitational field. In classical mechanics, two or more masses always have a gravitational potential. Conservation of energy requires that this gravitational field energy is always negative, so that it is zero when the objects are infinitely far apart.
