Questions and Answers

What approach can be taken to increase the number of bits retrieved at one time in DRAMs?

Increase the width of the DRAM by making it 'wider' rather than 'deeper'.

What design change can be made to the DRAM interface to improve its efficiency?

Incorporating a cache or other buffering scheme on the DRAM chip.

How can the frequency of memory access be reduced in a system?

By incorporating increasingly complex and efficient cache structures between the processor and main memory.

What can be done to increase the interconnect bandwidth between processors and memory?

Using higher speed buses and a hierarchy of buses to buffer and structure data flow. Signup and view all the answers
