Define temporal locality.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how loops behave in programming.
Question 2.
What is spatial locality?
Show hintHide hint
Consider accessing elements of an array sequentially.
3Question 3.
What does the principle of locality of reference state?
- Programs access memory in a random manner.
- Programs tend to access data and instructions in clusters.
- Programs always access data sequentially.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how loops and repeated instructions work.
4Question 4.
True or False: Temporal locality means recently accessed items are unlikely to be accessed again soon.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall how loops reuse the same data.
Question 5.
Given a scenario where a program performs significant looping, analyze how temporal locality improves performance.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the loop structure affects data retrieval.
Question 6.
Discuss the implications of poor locality of reference in a program designed for data processing.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how data is accessed in such programs.
