This lecture covers the design and performance of cache memory in computer systems. It explains the need for fast and large memory systems, introduces the concept of cache memory, and discusses strategies for data allocation, cache hits and misses, and eviction policies. The lecture also delves into the principles of spatial and temporal locality, basic cache design, and different cache types like fully-associative, direct-mapped, and set-associative caches.
