Analysis of Cache Performance for Operating Systems and Multiprogramming

As we continue to build faster and fast. er computers, their performance is be­ coming increasingly dependent on the memory hierarchy. Both the clock speed of the machine and its throughput per clock depend heavily on the memory hierarchy. The time to complet. e a cache acce88 is oft. en the factor that det. er­ mines the cycle time. The effectiveness of the hierarchy in keeping the average cost o...
