3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define SRAM and its key characteristics.
Think about speed and cost.
What does the term 'cache hit' mean?
Consider where the data location is checked first.
What is the primary reason for having a memory hierarchy?
Consider what trade-offs you are making with speed and capacity.
True or False: DRAM is faster than SRAM.
Think about the cost and speed of each memory type.
You are tasked with designing a new computer system. Given what you've learned about memory types, which combination of SRAM, DRAM, and magnetic disks would you use to optimize performance while remaining cost-effective? Justify your choices.
Think about the function of each type of memory and where speed is most critical.
Analyze the impact of increasing the size of cache memory on system performance. What are the potential trade-offs involved?
Reflect on past experiences with memory designs and their performance.
