The principle of "locality" is used in the context of:

Accessing Cache memory locations..

The principle of locality, specifically the principle of temporal locality and spatial locality, is a fundamental concept in computer architecture and memory management. It suggests that programs tend to access the same memory locations frequently in a short period of time (temporal locality) and that neighboring memory locations are also likely to be accessed in the near future (spatial locality).

Cache memory systems are designed to exploit these principles by storing recently accessed data and the data located nearby in the cache. This helps improve the efficiency of memory access, as frequently used data can be quickly retrieved from the faster cache memory instead of accessing the slower main memory.
