 This node basically passes through the inputs to the matching output. However, if a value is requested from the output for a second time at the current spot (and recursion level) the last value will be returned. This node basically passes through the inputs to the matching output.

 This caches the value and prevents duplicate evaluations of the value connected to the input. This caches the value and prevents duplicate evaluations of the value connected to the input.
 This node can be used for all computationally heavy nodes (such as material and shaders) if multiple inputs are connected to their output. This node can be used for all computationally heavy nodes (such as material and shaders) if multiple inputs are connected to their output.
