Cache (computing)
The word cache was first used in computing in 1967, when a scientific article was prepared to be published in IBM Systems Journal. The article was about a new improvement of the memory in Model 85. Model 85 was a computer of the IBM System/360 product line. The editor of the Journal wanted a better word for high-speed buffer, used in the article. He got no input, and suggested cache, from the French cacher, meaning "to hide". The article was published in early 1968, and the authors were honored by IBM. Their work was widely welcomed and improved.Cache soon became standard usage in computer literature.
