The performance of the memory hierarchy also greatly affects processor performance, an issue barely considered in MIPS calculations.

The performance of the memory hierarchy also greatly affects processor performance, an issue barely considered in MIPS calculations.

The CDC 6600 designed by Seymour Cray in 1964 used a load / store architecture with only two addressing modes ( register + register, and register + immediate constant ) and 74 opcodes, with the basic clock cycle / instruction issue rate being 10 times faster than the memory access time.

It is possible for CPUs to support this, but this functionality is rarely required directly at the machine code level, thus CPU designers normally avoid implementing it and instead issue bus errors for unaligned memory access.

RISC instruction sets attempt to limit the variability in each of these: instruction sets are usually constant length, with few exceptions, there are usually fewer combinations of registers and memory operations, and the instruction issue rate ( the number of instructions completed per time period, usually an integer multiple of the clock cycle ) is usually constant in cases where memory latency is not a factor.

Weapon focus effects in which the presence of a weapon impairs memory for surrounding details is also an issue.

When the component is granted ownership, it will issue normal read and write commands on the PCI bus, which will be claimed by the bus controller and forwarded to the memory controller using a scheme which is specific to every chipset.

At the beginning of the story-within-the-story, Roland ( age fourteen ) earns his guns — an episode retold in the inaugural issue of The Gunslinger Born — and becomes the youngest gunslinger in memory.

People published a commemorative issue in honor of Selena's memory and musical career, titled Selena 1971 – 1995, Her Life in Pictures.

It appeared in the May 1976 Vol 1, No. 5 issue, and distinguished itself from other versions of Tiny BASIC through a novel means of abbreviating commands to save memory, and the inclusion of an array variable ("@").

If an existing algorithm is proving to be too slow or memory is becoming an issue, clearly something must be done to improve it.

The expansion of the memory space caused an issue for any programs that used the high byte of an address to store data, a programming trick that was successful with those processors that only have a 24-bit address bus ( 68000 and 68010 ).

In the process John loses his memory, setting up the events leading up to the 200th issue.

The key issue in programming distributed memory systems is how to distribute the data over the memories.

Thus, there is a validity issue with much of the research into flashbulb memory in general, as well as any apparent gender differences found therein.

This issue, when brought up with the general public several weeks later, immediately caused an uproar from the press and became one of the hottest debates on the Internet in China due to the still painful memory of foreign humiliation epitomized in the destruction of this " Garden of Gardens ( 萬園之園 )".

Computer systems have increasingly cheap and plentiful memory, and storage overhead is not generally an overriding issue outside specialized embedded systems.

There was also an early virtual memory scheme, which attempted to solve the issue by making more memory available by paging unused portions to disk, but for most users with 68K Macintoshes, this did nothing but slow everything down without solving the memory problems themselves.

The memory wasn't used efficiently, but it was abundant enough that the issue never became critical.

Preserving the memory of the Shoah is a key issue in the WJC ’ s public efforts.

A related issue is that, historically, language standards and compilers had been inconsistent in their handling of the x87 80-bit registers implementing double extended precision variables, compared with the double and single precision formats implemented in SSE2: the rounding of extended precision intermediate values to double precision variables was not fully defined and was dependent on implementation details such as when registers were spilled to memory.

Just as I was about to enlarge upon my discovery of the underside of the leaf of love, memory, displeased at being asked to yield its unsavory secrets, dashed ahead of me, calling back over its shoulder: `` Skip it.

And all this too shall pass away: it came to him out of some dim corner of memory from a church service when he was a boy -- yes, in a white church with a thin spur steeple in the patriarchal Hudson Valley, where a feeling of plenitude was normal in those English-Dutch manors with their well-fed squires.

In the cruel clearness of her memory the boy remained unchanged, quick with the delight of laughter, and the pain with which she recalled that short destroyed childhood was still unendurable to her.

There was the smell of the coast, like a primeval memory, composed of equal parts salt water, clams, seaweed and northern air.

I always felt the memory was present in both of them, stirring in their chests like a laugh or a growl, as eager as an animal to be out.

He was oblivious of the form of the object actually being viewed, precisely because he could not assign it to a visual shape, already learned and held in visual memory, as persons of normal vision do.

he was absolutely unfamiliar with it because he had no visual memory at all.

That the perfect continuity was composed from the joblot of memory impressions in the professor's brain, or 2.

Hence he was in his lifetime, as is the memory of him afterwards, a canker within the liberal sensitivity.

But when he called for his withered, wrinkled sister Rose to care for him and the children, had he guessed that all he would remember of his woman was the memory of her climbing into that streetcar??

The closet was faintly fragrant with lavender, and as Lucy shut the door an unhappy memory slipped into her mind, like a lavender ghost: Greg's house, on the day he was buried, and the child, pale, silent, baffled, watching the funeral guests with panicky eyes.

He had almost given up when he realized that the dropping of his biwa into the icy jowls of the black Pacific was the memory for which he had been searching.

Only the memory of previous hurt, bewilderment and perplexity made him sure that if he did not ask B'dikkat when he, Mercer, was happy, the answer would no longer be available when he needed it.

More memory was added, as was the circuitry for the many sounds in the game.

:“ In 1882, she said, it was first spoken of when the Sporting Times, after the Australians had thoroughly beaten the English at the Oval, wrote an obituary in affectionate memory of English cricket “ whose demise was deeply lamented and the body would be cremated and taken to Australia ”.

There was to be a store ( that is, a memory ) capable of holding 1, 000 numbers of 40 decimal digits each ( ca.

The memory of the Atanasoff – Berry Computer was a pair of drums, each containing 1600 capacitors that rotated on a common shaft once per second.

In 1891, a statue was erected to his memory in Königsberg.

Agrippina removed or eliminated anyone from the palace or the imperial court who she thought was loyal and dedicated to the memory of the late Messalina.

It is in the Boethius that the oft-quoted sentence occurs: " My will was to live worthily as long as I lived, and after my life to leave to them that should come after, my memory in good works.
