SK0-003 · Question #346

Which of the following defines memory interleaving?

The correct answer is B. The distribution of data written across all the memory DIMMs in one bank. Memory interleaving is a memory optimization technique that distributes sequential data across multiple memory modules within a bank to enable parallel access and improve memory bandwidth.

Why each option

Memory interleaving is a memory optimization technique that distributes sequential data across multiple memory modules within a bank to enable parallel access and improve memory bandwidth.

AThe distribution of data written across all the memory DIMMs and the L1 cache

Memory interleaving primarily concerns the organization of main system memory (DIMMs) and does not inherently involve the L1 cache as part of its definition for data distribution.

BThe distribution of data written across all the memory DIMMs in one bankCorrect

Memory interleaving defines the distribution of data written across multiple memory DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) within a single memory bank, allowing the memory controller to access different parts of a data block simultaneously and enhancing memory performance.

CThe distribution of data written across all the memory DIMMs and the processor

Memory interleaving is a memory subsystem optimization that focuses on the DIMMs, not directly defining the distribution of data across DIMMs and the processor itself.

DThe distribution of data written across all the memory DIMMs and the L2 cache

Memory interleaving focuses on the organization of main system memory (DIMMs) and does not inherently include the L2 cache in its definition of data distribution across memory modules.
