What is Local Memory?
Data access is a critical part of CPU design. The vast majority of that data is stored on the storage media. Storage devices, however, are impossibly slow compared to a CPU. Typically, these are referred to as the L1, L2, and L3 caches. L1 is really high speed, typically taking on the order of 5 clock cycles to access. L2 is a bit slower, on the order of 20 cycles....
