Addendum for video on cache and temporal locality
In video on cache and temporal locality, the video is cut at the end. It says the following: If at a particular time, a memory location is referenced then chances are that it will be soon accessed again. For example, as most of the program is carried out in loops, same instructions and data are reused again and again. This is referred to as temporal locality.
