Spice.ai provides two complementary caching layers. Dataset acceleration materializes upstream data into a fast local engine. The SQL results cache stores query output in memory so that identical queries return instantly without re-executing against the accelerator. Both layers are configurable independently and work together to minimize latency and upstream load.
