What is spatial locality?
Think about how data is stored in arrays.
Can you provide an example of temporal locality?
Consider a situation where code is executed repeatedly.
What principle suggests that data close to accessed data will likely be accessed next?
Think about how arrays are organized.
True or False: Temporal locality refers to frequently accessed items being accessed again soon.
Consider how loops work in programming.
Suppose a CPU fetches data from memory using its cache. Explain how spatial locality would affect the cache architecture you would design. Include potential trade-offs.
Think about what to prioritize in cache architecture based on data access patterns.
Evaluate how changing the block size in a cache impacts the effectiveness of locality of reference. Provide examples.
Consider the balance between miss rates and fetching efficiency.
