CO and Architecture cache-memory co-and-architecture multilevel-cache + – Priyansh Singh asked Jan 27, 2019 Priyansh Singh 616 views answer comment Share Follow See all 6 Comments See all 6 6 Comments reply Show 3 previous comments Arjun commented Jan 27, 2019 reply Follow Share Simultaneous is practical for lower levels of cache. It is not about just money, but practical speed issues. If one tries to implement simultaneous access for L1, effective access speed will be lower. Same for n level, not just money but you have to prove that there will be performance advantage. If possible adding more memory to higher level is beneficial than adding a new level. 2 votes 2 votes Shaik Masthan commented Jan 27, 2019 reply Follow Share thank you sir! 0 votes 0 votes Tanuj Guha Thakurta commented Jul 27, 2019 reply Follow Share Sir, how do we measure performances for different caches? e.g 3 level and 5 level cache? 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
