caching

 

[ หˆkeษชสƒษชล‹ ]

Noun / Verb
Context #1 | Noun

computer science

Caching refers to the process of storing data in a temporary storage area, known as a cache, to enable faster access to frequently requested data. It enhances data retrieval performance by saving a copy of data that is expensive to fetch repeatedly from its original source.

Synonyms

buffering, retention, storage

Examples of usage

  • The web browser uses caching to load websites faster.
  • The database implemented caching to speed up query responses.
  • The application relied heavily on caching for optimized performance.
Context #2 | Verb

computer science

To cache means to store data for quick retrieval in the future. This process involves saving copies of data that can be quickly accessed rather than fetching them from the main storage.

Synonyms

retain, save, store

Examples of usage

  • The system caches frequently accessed images to reduce loading time.
  • Users can cache their preferences for a smoother experience.
  • You should cache the results of expensive calculations.

Etymology

The term 'caching' is derived from the word 'cache,' which comes from the French word 'cacher,' meaning 'to hide.' The concept gained prominence in computer science during the 1960s and 1970s when programmers began implementing methods of temporarily storing data to improve system performance. As computing technology advanced, the term evolved to encompass various forms of data storage, leading to the modern understanding of caching as a critical mechanism for optimizing data access speed in software applications, web browsers, and hardware architectures.
