The Solution: Distributed Caching. A widely used technology called distributed caching meets this need by storing frequently accessed data in memory on a server farm instead of within a database. It’s not enough simply to lash together a set of servers hosting a collection of in-memory caches.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. Its goal is to assign running processes to time slices of the CPU in a “fair” way. Linux to the rescue?
