4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does SRAM stand for?
Think about memory types used in computers.
What is a cache miss?
Consider what happens when the processor looks for data.
What is the primary purpose of cache memory?
Think about why we need cache in a computer.
True or False: Direct-mapped cache can lead to higher conflict misses compared to fully associative cache.
Remember the definitions of cache types.
Assess a scenario where you have both direct-mapped and fully associative caches, and a specific sequence of memory access. Calculate cache hits and misses for each type.
Track each memory access and manage cache lines appropriately.
Given a system with a miss penalty of 20 CPU cycles on a direct-mapped cache, analyze how decreasing the cache size affects the efficiency of the memory system.
Consider trade-offs between size and processing efficiency.
