INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Traditional cache memory architectures are based on the locality property of common memory reference patterns. This means that a part of the content of the main memory is replicated in smaller and faster memories closer to the processor.

The processor can then access this data in a nearby fast cache, without suffering long penalties of waiting for main memory access. Increasing the performance of a cache system is typically done by enlarging the cache. This has led to caches that consume an ever-growing part of modern microprocessor chips. However, bigger caches induce longer latencies.

Thus, making a cache larger, beyond a certain point, becomes counter-productive. At that point, any further increasing of the performance of the cache represents a difficult problem. Identify and examine issues that slower the cache processing speed and also provide a few researched solutions to those issues. Your discussion should focus on security issues, soft errors and a few common issues regarding to performance enhancement amongst others. To submit in 4000 words
