## General Data Analysis
### What is the effect of the different cache on performance?
You can have very good information on [CPU caches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_cache) on [this blog page](http://igoro.com/archive/gallery-of-processor-cache-effects/).
### What should I know about memory?
There is a **very** good and complete review on computer memories [here](https://people.freebsd.org/~lstewart/articles/cpumemory.pdf). In particular the section 6 is good to know for performance programming.
