| 1. | Then the memory hierarchy will be assessed during code refactoring.
|
| 2. | The system interface and memory hierarchy was also significantly reworked.
|
| 3. | McKinley dramatically improved the memory hierarchy and allowed Itanium to become reasonably competitive.
|
| 4. | Memory hierarchy was also recognized as something to exploit.
|
| 5. | The lower levels of the memory hierarchy tend to be slower, but larger.
|
| 6. | :Take a look at the the memory hierarchy article, particularly the traditional pyramid diagram.
|
| 7. | Modern machines tend to read blocks of lower memory into the next level of the memory hierarchy.
|
| 8. | Spatial locality is improved because elements with consecutive memory addresses tend to be pulled up the memory hierarchy together.
|
| 9. | Traditionally, buffers have been implemented using different structures within the memory hierarchy such as store queues or caches.
|
| 10. | Processor registers are normally at the top of the memory hierarchy, and provide the fastest way to access data.
