People also ask, what is cache in simple terms?

Caching is a term used in computer science. Put differently, a cache is a temporary storage area that has copies of data that is used often. When a copy of the data is in this cache, it is faster to use this copy rather than re-fetching or re-calculating the original data.

Secondly, what is cache used for? Cache is a small amount of memory which is a part of the CPU - closer to the CPU than RAM . It is used to temporarily hold instructions and data that the CPU is likely to reuse.

Similarly, what is meant by a cache hit or miss?

This is called a "Cache hit". If the address is not present in the cache, it is called a "Cache miss". If a cache miss has occurred, that means the processor has go to main memory to fetch the address and it takes some more time.

What is write miss in cache?

write hit means the page on which you want to write is present in cache, similiarly write miss page is when page on which write to be performed is not in cache.
