Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A logical cache stores data using virtual addresses, which are used by the processor to reference memory locations. When the processor requests data from main memory, the data is first searched for in the cache using the virtual address. If the data is found in the cache, it is returned to the processor without a main memory access. If the data is not found in the cache, it is fetched from main memory and also stored in the cache for future requests. Physical addresses are used by the memory management unit to translate the virtual addresses to actual physical memory locations. Random addresses do not have any specific meaning in this context.
