A cache automatically stores previously viewed data in a computer’s memory. A dynamic cache allows the user to control what is stored and its size, preventing abuse. Misconfigured caches can delete important data. Dynamic caches prioritize important functions and can be adjusted based on user needs.
A cache is a section in your computer’s central processing unit (CPU) memory that automatically holds previously viewed data without user input or preference. The dynamic cache holds the data, but what is kept is determined by the user’s instructions, allowing the user to take control of the dynamic cache system. This prevents the cache from being abused and only important functions are kept. With dynamic systems, the user can usually increase or decrease the cache size. One problem with a misconfigured cache is that, if the cache is set too low, it can delete important data.
A cache is created as a network to capture data. When a user accesses a website, runs a program, or does anything else, the cache will make a note of it and store it in temporary memory. If the user logs back into the website or program before it leaves the cache, it will load much faster because the computer still has the information in a fresh state. The problem with the cache is that it can quickly fill up with features that are not important to you or that you rarely use.
Many systems have an automatic cache set too high, higher than random access memory (RAM), which can produce frequent problems. When the cache is set beyond the RAM, newer processes are difficult for the system to load or compute. Performance suffers greatly, because the cache doesn’t want to give up the data but wants to open up memory to allow new data to load.
A dynamic cache is a possible solution to this problem. On the one hand, the user can choose different programs or functions and set them in the dynamic cache. For example, if the user sets a web browser as a priority, its data will be cached without delay, while lower priority functions will not be cached or will be deleted when necessary.
Another solution is that the user can set the cache size to dynamic cache. This allows the cache to be set based on its absolute need and can be changed dynamically for any user requirement. When done, the cache cannot take over the RAM.
One problem with setting the dynamic cache is that the user might set it too low. In this case, when the cache is full but the user loads new data for a high priority function, the cache will get scrambled. It may delete important cache data to keep the new data or it may refuse to store the new information. If this occurs, the cache should be set to a higher threshold.
