Dear Students,
The activity of Graded Discussion Board (GDB) will be conducted on February 18, 2015. Students will be able to post their comments for 48 hours only.
GDB Topic:
“As memory subsystem is one of the most important components of computer and the overall speed of the computer can be improved by improving the performance of memory sub-system. The performance of the memory sub-system depends on two characteristics: Bandwidth and Latency. But, there are often subtle tradeoffs between latency and bandwidth as giving more emphasis on one characteristic can have an adverse effect on other.”
Being a computer architect, you want to design a memory sub-system for Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). While designing, you will focus on which of the above characteristics more and why?
