CPSC 3300 - DAY 2
JANUARY 16, 2018

================================================================================

Keep data in cache if possible for performance reasons.

SRAM - Static random-access memory
DRAM - Dynamic random-access memory

SRAM was mainly used CPU cache.

SRAM is faster, but more expensive and can hold less.

Some instructions can be done in parallel (multiple instructions per 
clock cycle)

performance measures

	response time (latency)
	throughput (bandwidth)
	speedup

	Other measures:
		power
		Reliability, availability, serviceability
		scalability
		total cost of ownership
