Problem Detail: please bear with me, I always get confused with the terminologies used in my computer architecture class. What are read and write operations exactly? What are their relationship with processor, main memory, and cache? I always thought that load/store are interchangeable with read/write… What about the modify operation?

Read is the same as load, and write is the same as store. Modify is a combination of both.
