The post the author wrote goes more in depth than this. Per your analogy, it doesn't quite explain if multiple people (cores) want to make a salad. For example, how does the tomato on the counter and refrigerator get allocated?
- posterboy 10y agoIt's probably over the top of many heads, so a simple explanation is probably what they expect from the title.
- drwl 10y agoI'm confused, are you referring to the answer to the thread question or to the article's explanation?
- posterboy 10y agoObviously the few sentence answer here is much simpler than the (reposted) over my head article discussing cache strategies. If the article contains the answer, it's not up front. It starts with a quote that goes along the lines of "I know why cache is necessary ...", so then I didn't read much further to find out if the explanation will be repeated, because I remember reading the article before. I jumped to the conclusion that the necessity for a cache also explains the necessity for caches of caches. Edit: I was trying to say, the in depth explanation there and the ad-hoc hint given here both have their place. On the other hand, maybe not, if one should read the article first, but who does that, right? /s
