Cache (computing)
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.

Cache coherence
In computer architecture, cache coherence is the uniformity of shared resource data that ends up stored in multiple local caches.
