Cache Associativity

Cache associativity is a property of the cache which decides how many different memory blocks can be stored in a cache line. In this OpenGenus article, we shall classify caches on the basis of their associativity property into 4 main categories:- Direct Mapped, 2-Way Set Associative, 4-Way Set Associative and Fully Associative.

Pre-requisites: Basic knowledge of computer memory and knowledge of the concepts in this article- Types of Cache Misses

Please note that in this OpenGenus article, you ma...

Why convexity is important in Machine Learning?

Table of ContentsKey-TakeawaysIntroductionMaking use of convexity in Machine Learning modelsWhy convexity is important in Machine LearningReal life ApplicationsQuizKey-takeaways

Convexity is important in ML because:

Optimization problems have a single global minimum.It ensures that any local minimum is also the global minimum.It often leads to more robust and stable optimization.Optimization algorithms will converge to the optimal solution.Convex functions are easier to analyze mat...

nth_element in C++ STL

nth_element is a function in the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) that allows you to partially sort a range of elements in a container, such that the element at the nth position is the one that would be at that position if the entire range was sorted. The elements before and after the nth position are not sorted.
