Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To increase the speed of memory access in pipelining, we make use of ____
A
Special memory locations
B
Special purpose registers
C
Cache
D
Buffers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cache memory is basically developed to increase the efficiency of the system and to maximise the utilisation of the entire computational speed of the processor. The performance of the processor is highly influenced by the methods employed to transfer data and instructions to and from the processor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Another method for increasing the effective rate of memory access is to divide memory into parts, called memory interleaving, so that it is possible to access more than one location at a time. Each part would have its own address register and data register, and each part is independently accessible.

Detailed explanation-3: -Memory speed up in the case of vector processing is highly dependent on the vectorisation ratio. Therefore for us to speed up the memory then the vectorisation ratio should be increased. This will speed up the memory and the work done as well.
