Chapter 7Large and Fast: Exploiting Memory Hierarchy Memories: Review SRAM: value is stored on a pair of inverting gates very fast but takes up more space than DRAM (4 to 6 transistors) DRAM: value is stored as a charge on capacitor (must be refreshed) very small but slower than SRAM (factor of 5 to 10) Exploiting Memory Hierarchy Users want large and fast memories!  Build a memory hierarchy Locality Principle of locality temporal locality: it will tend to be referenced again soon spatial locality: nearby items will tend to be referenced soon. Our initial focus: two levels (upp
