👉 Centers are specialized computational units within the memory hierarchy of a computer system, designed to efficiently store and manage frequently accessed data. They are typically found in the cache levels (L1, L2, and L3) and play a crucial role in bridging the performance gap between the fast but limited main memory (RAM) and the slower, larger storage devices. By holding data that is actively used by the CPU, centers reduce the time and energy required for data retrieval from main memory, thereby enhancing overall system performance. Each center is optimized for specific types of data and access patterns, allowing for faster access times and better utilization of memory resources, which is critical for high-performance computing applications.
