Difference between Cache (computing) and Speculative execution

Cache (computing) vs. Speculative execution

In computing, a cache, is a hardware or software component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation, or the duplicate of data stored elsewhere. Speculative execution is an optimization technique where a computer system performs some task that may not be needed.

Similarities between Cache (computing) and Speculative execution

Cache (computing) and Speculative execution have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cache prefetching, Central processing unit, Microprocessor, Program optimization.

Cache prefetching

Cache prefetching is a technique used by computer processors to boost execution performance by fetching instructions or data from their original storage in slower memory to a faster local memory before it is actually needed (hence the term 'prefetch').

Central processing unit

A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

Microprocessor

A microprocessor is a computer processor that incorporates the functions of a central processing unit on a single integrated circuit (IC), or at most a few integrated circuits.

Program optimization

In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources.

Cache (computing) and Speculative execution Comparison

Cache (computing) has 96 relations, while Speculative execution has 31. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 3.15% = 4 / (96 + 31).
