In Memory Plaque

An in-memory plaque, also known as an in-memory data structure or cache, is a way computers temporarily store data directly in their fast-access memory (RAM). This allows quick retrieval and processing without repeatedly accessing slower storage like a hard drive. It's used to speed up applications by keeping frequently used information readily available. When the data is no longer needed, it can be removed from memory. This technique improves performance, particularly in high-speed computing environments, by reducing delays caused by slower data access methods.
