    The minimum cache size is 250 MB. In Vista or with FAT32 formatting of the drive, the maximum is 4 GB. In Windows 7 or later with NTFS or exFAT formatting, the maximum cache size is 32 GB per device. Windows Vista allows only one device to be used, while Windows 7 allows multiple caches, one per device, up to a total of 256 GB. [5]

    In earlier BIOSes, up to around the turn of the millennium, the POST would perform a thorough test of all devices, including a complete memory test. This design by IBM was modeled after their larger mainframe systems, which would perform a complete hardware test as part of their cold-start process.

    FUA write command will not return until data is written to media, thus data written by a completed FUA write command is on permanent media even if the device is powered off before issuing a FLUSH CACHE command. [8] [dead link ‍] [9] FUA appeared in the SCSI command set, and was later adopted by SATA with NCQ. FUA is more fine-grained as it ...

  8. Processor affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_affinity

    Processor affinity can effectively reduce cache problems, but it does not reduce the persistent load-balancing problem. [2] Also note that processor affinity becomes more complicated in systems with non-uniform architectures. For example, a system with two dual-core hyper-threaded CPUs presents a challenge to a scheduling algorithm.

  9. Cache replacement policies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies

    In computing, cache replacement policies (also known as cache replacement algorithms or cache algorithms) are optimizing instructions or algorithms which a computer program or hardware-maintained structure can utilize to manage a cache of information. Caching improves performance by keeping recent or often-used data items in memory locations ...
