Main memory works in conjunction with which of the following? Correct Answer CPU

Main memory works in conjunction with CPU. Main memory refers to physical memory that is internal to the computer. The word main is used to distinguish it from external mass storage devices such as disk drives. Other terms used to mean main memory include RAM and primary storage.

With regard to computer memory, which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?  (A) Cache memory is 'volatile' memory. (B) Magnetic memory is 'volatile' memory.  (C) Flash memory is 'volatile' memory. (D) RAM is 'volatile' memory. Choose the correct answer from the option given below:
Consider the following two C code segment. Y and X are one- and two-dimensional arrays of size n and n × n respectively, where 2 ≤ n ≤ 10. Assume that in both code segments, elements of y are initialized to 0 and each element X[i] [j] of array X is initialized to i + j. Further assume that when stored in main memory all elements of x are in same main memory page frame. Code segment 1:                 //initialize elements of y to 0                 //initialize elements X[i] [j] of X to i+j                       for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                                 Y[i] += X[0] [i]; Code Segment 2:                 //initialize elements of Y to 0                 //initialize elements X[i] [j] of X to i+j                        for (i = 0; i < n; i++)                                 Y[i] += X[i] [0]; Which of the following statements is/are correct? S1: Final contents of array Y will be same in both code segments S2: Elements of array X accessed inside the for loop shown in code segment 1 are contiguous in main memory S3: Elements of array X accessed inside the for loop shown in code segment 2 are contiguous in main memory
Assume a memory access to main memory on a cache "miss" takes 30 ns and a memory access to the cache (on a cache "hit") takes 3 ns. If 80% of the processor's memory requests results in a cache "hit", what is the average memory access time?

Some of the time G employs only one of these detectives,' the rest of the time it employs exactly two of them. *F and H each employ exactly two of these detectives all the time. If R works for H only, and if S works for G and H only, T works for--
Consider a machine with a byte addressable main memory of 220 bytes, block size of 16 bytes and a direct mapped cache having 212 cache lines. Let the addresses of two consecutive bytes in main memory be (E201F)16 and (E2020)16. What are the tag and cache line address (in hex) for main memory address (E201F)16?
Consider a process executing on an operating system that uses demand paging. The average time for a memory access in the system is M units if the corresponding memory page is available in memory, and D units if the memory access causes a page fault. It has been experimental measured that the average time taken for a memory access in the process is X units. Which one of the following is the correct expression for the page fault rate experienced by the process?
Which of the following statement about computer memory are true?  A. Secondary storage is non-volatile storage.  B. Video memory found in graphics cards is volatile memory.  C. Primary memory (RAM) is the fastest form of memory in a computer.  Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A shared variable x, initialized to zero, is operated on by four concurrent processes W, X, Y, Z as follows. Each of the processes W and X reads x from memory, increments by one, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each of the processes Y and Z reads x from memory, decrements by two, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each process before reading x invokes the P operation (i.e., wait) on a counting semaphore S and invokes the V operation (i.e., signal) on the semaphore S after storing x to memory. Semaphore S is initialized to two. What is the maximum possible value of x after all processes complete execution?
