I knew that chrome supports from memory cache
and from disk cache
when I request resources. I didn't see from memory cache
before.
BTW how chrome determine which resource should be cached in memory?

I'm interested in this. Did you ever find out how Chrome decides what goes into its disk cache, in particular? There is a popularity algorithm, I can see that just from watching what gets served from the disk cache. – Tom Dec 20 '18 at 09:09

Using this
document, the Caching
section in particular, I understand that there are two caches, an on-disk cache and a very fast in-memory cache
.
As for your actual question, how does Chrome decide what gets cached where, I believe the next line provides the answer
The lifetime of an in-memory cache is attached to the lifetime of a render process, which roughly corresponds to a tab
While I am not entirely sure, I believe the in memory cache serves the current tab.
