CPU Cache Write Policies (Write Through, Write Back, Write Allocate, No Write Allocate)

Описание: CPU Cache Write Policies (Write Through, Write Back, Write Allocate, No Write Allocate)

Every time the CPU reads data from the cache, it is guaranteed to receive the correct, up-to-date data that corresponds to the requested address in main memory, regardless of whether it's a read hit or a read miss.
Writing to the cache introduces a challenge: when a block of data in the cache is modified, the main memory may still hold the outdated information at the accessed address. This is known as the cache coherence problem.
The main issue with stale data in memory is that other components in the system might access this outdated information, leading to incorrect results. To address this issue, caches use specific write policies and allocation policies suited to system needs.
In this video, I explain the 4 basic CPU cache write policies / allocation policies:
• Write-Through
• Write-Back
• Write-Allocate
• No-Write-Allocate
