Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a system with a memory bandwidth of 40 GB/s and a latency of 50 ns, calculate the maximum amount of data that could be transferred in that period.

💡 Hint: Use the equation: Data = Bandwidth × Time.

Question 2

Discuss how increasing the bus width from 64 bits to 128 bits while keeping latency constant would impact memory bandwidth.

💡 Hint: Consider how data flows on wider paths.
