Assume a two-level inclusive cache hierarchy, L1 and L2, where L2 is the larger of the two. Consider the following statements. S1: Read misses in a write through L1 cache do not result in writebacks of dirty lines to the L2. S2: Write allocate policy must be used in conjunction with write through caches and no-write allocate policy is used with writeback caches. Which of the following statements is correct? 
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?
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?
Declaring a variable tell the computer to allocate a memory space that can be accessed by the variable name. The size of the memory space depends on?
How a buffer memory allocate its memory through the linker?
Consider the following statements: 1. Better memory utilization is possible with non-contiguous allocation using fixed size pages 2. Associative memory is used for providing fast access to data stored in cache memory. 3. Direct mapping of cache memory is hard to implement Which of the above statements are correct?
