What is a Latency:
Respuesta
-
is time for a single access – Main memory latency is usually >> than processor cycle time
-
is the number of accesses per unit time – If m instructions are loads/stores, 1 + m memory accesses per instruction, CPI = 1 requires at least 1 + m memory accesses per cycle
-
is amount of data that can be in flight at the same time (Little’s Law)

The formula of “Iron Law” of Processor Performance:
Respuesta
-
time/program = instruction/program * cycles/instruction * time/cycle

What is a Bandwidth:
Respuesta
-
a is the number of accesses per unit time – If m instructions are loads/stores, 1 + m memory accesses per instruction, CPI = 1 requires at least 1 + m memory accesses per cycle
-
is time for a single access – Main memory latency is usually >> than processor cycle time
-
is amount of data that can be in flight at the same time (Little’s Law)

Pregunta
What is Computer Architecture?
Respuesta
-
is the design of the abstraction/implementation layers that allow us to execute information processing applications efficiently using manufacturing technologies
-
is a group of computer systems and other computing hardware devices that are linked together through communication channels to facilitate communication and resource-sharing among a wide range of users
-
the programs used to direct the operation of a computer, as well as documentation giving instructions on how to use them
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Least Recently Used (LRU):
Respuesta
-
cache state must be updated on every access
-
Used in highly associative caches
-
FIFO with exception for most recently used block(s)
Pregunta 16
Respuesta
-
Write Through – write both cache and memory, generally higher traffic but simpler to design
-
Write cache only, memory is written when evicted, dirty bit per block avoids unnecessary write backs, more complicated
-
No Write Allocate – only write to main memory

Empirical Rule of Thumb:
Respuesta
-
If cache size is doubled, miss rate usually drops by about √2
-
Direct-mapped cache of size N has about the same miss rate as a two-way set- associative cache of size N/2
-
None of them
