What does it mean when the L1 instruction cache miss rate is 0
the cache is the memory that stores the recent instructions and the data for the future use to speed up the processor.
whenever an instruction or the data occur it first searches the cache if the instr or data in the cache then it is cache hit`otherwise cache miss
cache can be organized into multiple levels of hierarchy L1,L2,L3 likewise.
here in this if L1 cache missrate is 0 that says that all the instructions are recently used instructions and the processor use all those instructions .
cahe miss rate=no.of cache miss/no.of cache attempts.
L1 is the top layer in the heirarchy that it stores the most recent instructions.
