You can improve processor performance by (select all that apply)
|
|
increasing the clock speed
|
|
|
using more cores
|
|
|
using a bigger cache
|
|
|
installing more RAM
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cache size It is used to temporarily hold data and instructions that the processor is likely to reuse. The bigger its cache, the less time a processor has to wait for instructions to be fetched.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cache size also has a significant impact on performance.-The larger a cache is, the less chance there will be of a conflict.-Again this means the miss rate decreases, so the AMAT and number of memory stall cycles also decrease.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cache decreases data access times, reduces latency and improves input/output (I/O).
