Question 1

What is the main function of cache coherence protocols?

  • To speed up memory access
  • To maintain data consistency across caches
  • To reduce memory capacity

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about why we need consistent views of data.

Question 2

True or False: In a private memory system, all cores share the same memory space.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how data is accessed by different cores.
