   cache line
  
      (Or cache block) The smallest unit of memory than

      Rather than reading a single word or byte from main memory at
      a time, each cache entry is usually holds a certain number of
      words, known as a "cache line" or "cache block" and a whole
      line is read and cached at once.   This takes advantage of the
